Basic Digital Operation
Using the Dual ARB Waveform Player
a. Press Mode > Dual ARB > Waveform Sequences > Build New Waveform Sequence > Insert Waveform.
b. Highlight the FWDCH_64 waveform segment and press
Insert Selected Waveform.
c. Highlight the FWDCH_9 waveform segment and press
Insert Selected Waveform.
d. Press
Done Inserting
2. Optional: Enable markers as desired for the segments in the new sequence: see page 139.
3. Name and store the waveform sequence to the Catalog of Seq Files in the memory catalog:
a. Press
Name and Store.
b. Enter a file name (for example, FWDCH_64+FWDCH_9).
c. Press
Enter.
Playing a Waveform Sequence
You can play a waveform sequence or a waveform segment using this procedure. Both waveform types use
the same process.
If you have not created waveform segments and used them to build and store a waveform sequence,
complete the steps in the previous procedures, “Creating Waveform Segments” on page 107 and “Creating a
Waveform Sequence” on page 108.
NOTE A waveform segment must reside in volatile memory (WFM1) before it can be played
individually or as part of a waveform sequence. Refer to “Loading Waveform Segments
from Non-Volatile Memory” on page 113 for more information.
1. Select a waveform sequence:
a. Press
Mode > Dual ARB > Select Waveform.
b. Highlight a waveform sequence (for this example, FWDCH_64+FWDCH_9) from the Sequence
column of the Select Waveform catalog, and press
Select Waveform.
The display shows the currently selected waveform (for example, Selected Waveform:
SEQ:FWDCH_64+FWDCH_9).
2. Generate the waveform:
Press
ARB Off On to On.
This plays the waveform sequence created in the previous procedures. During the waveform sequence
generation, the ARB and I/Q annunciator are displayed. The waveform is now modulating the RF carrier.
