1. Insert the 3.5 inch floppy disk with the first 128 K words into the drive.
2. Select File

Import Data and select a file to be imported.
3. Press the OK button. The Import Configuration pop-up menu appears. This
menu allows you to configure how the data will be imported. In this
example, only the Dest Start point will be modified.
4. Set the Dest Start point to zero for the first 3.5 inch floppy disk.
5. Set the Dest Start point to 65536 for the second 3.5 inch floppy disk.
6. Set the Dest Start point to 131072 for the third 3.5 inch floppy disk.
7. Repeat the steps above changing the Dest Start point until the data from the
last 3.5 inch floppy disk is read.
Once the data words have been imported, parameters including clock rate, output
levels, and interchange timing need to be set, since the CSV format does not
transfer this information.
The Export function writes pattern data to mass memory (3.5 inch floppy disk).
Data is written either as CSV data or as Tektronix AWG2000-Series waveform
data. The write method is specified by setting a parameter in a pop-up menu.
NOTE
. Icon data and hardware setup data are not saved in the output AWG2000
Series waveform data. When this data is read in to an AWG2000 Series
instrument, default setup data will be added. PCs and some other systems may
not be able to read this data directly.
