    You can modify your arbitrary waveform via an on-screen editor and then replicate it out of the generator. For more involved waveform manipulation, you can use Tektronix’ ArbExpress PC-based waveform creation and editing software. It is available for free download from www.tektronix.com/software. Use version 3.1 or later with the MDO3000.
