13.8 Step Input Mode
In step input mode, waveform data is created by setting and combining step waveforms. Click the
step input button or select
[Waveform Input Mode - Step Input]
from the menu bar.
Basic instructions
Enter the start and end point for each step as well as the waveform type and settings. Once you
have entered one step, the waveform will be drawn in the waveform preview area of the screen. Up
to 100 steps can be entered.
