The insert is actioned by pressing the
insert
soft-key. If there is a size difference between the
two sections of waveform then the software will expand or compress the source to fit the new
waveform. Compressing the waveform may lose some significant data.
To insert sections of the current waveform within itself see Block Copy.
Block Copy
Pressing
block copy…
calls the
BLOCK COPY
screen:
BLOCK COPY: execute
◊
♦
start: 00400 exit
◊
◊
stop: 01000 undo
◊
◊
dest: 00000 save
◊
Block copy allows a section of the current waveform to be inserted within itself. The block to be
inserted is defined by the
start
and
stop
addresses. Change the addresses by pressing the
appropriate soft-key and making entries from the keyboard or by rotary control.
The destination address for the start of the section is set by pressing the
dest
soft-key and
entering the address. The effect of making the block copy can then by previewed by pressing the
execute
soft-key.
Note that if there are not enough waveform points between the destination address and end of
waveform to accommodate the copied section, the waveform being copied will simply be
truncated. The copy can be removed by pressing the
undo
soft-key or by entering a new
destination address.
When the block copy is as required it can be saved by pressing the
save
soft-key; once saved
the original waveform cannot be recovered.
Waveform Amplitude
Pressing the
wave amplitude
soft-key calls the
AMPLITUDE
screen:
AMPLITUDE: 001·00
♦
◊
start: 00400
◊
stop: 01000 undo
◊
◊
exit save
◊
The waveform amplitude can be changed on a section of the waveform defined by the
start
and
stop
addresses. Set the addresses by pressing the appropriate soft-key and making entries
directly from the keyboard or by rotary control.
The data values over the specified section of the waveform can be multiplied by a factor of
between 0·01 and 100·0 by making entries in the
AMPLITUDE
field. Press the appropriate soft-
key and make entries direct from the keyboard or by using the rotary control; the amplitude
changes on completion of the entry. Note that entries >1·0 will cause clipping if the waveform
already uses the full -2048 to +2047 data value range; the result is, however, still treated as a
valid waveform.
The original waveform can be restored by pressing the
undo
soft-key. When the amplitude has
been modified as required the new waveform can be saved by pressing the
save
soft-key;
pressing
exit
returns to the
EDIT FUNCTIONS
screen without change.
