Building And Storing A Waveform Sequence - Keysight E8357D User Manual

2. Create the first waveform segment:
a. Press Mode > Dual ARB > Waveform Segments > Load Store to Store.
b. Highlight the default segment AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM.
c. Press Rename Segment > Editing Keys > Clear Text.
d. Enter a file name (for example, TTONE), and press Enter > Store Segment To NVWFM Memory.
This renames the waveform segment, and stores a copy in non volatile memory.
3. Generate the second waveform:
a. Press Mode > Multitone > Initialize Table > Number Of Tones > 9 > Enter > Done.
b. Press Multitone Off On to On, then Off.
Remember that a waveform cannot be renamed as a segment while it is in use.
This generates a multitone waveform with nine tones. During waveform generation, the M–TONE and I/Q
annunciators activate. The waveform is stored in volatile memory with the default file name AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM.
4. Create the second waveform segment:
Repeat Step 2, giving this segment a descriptive name (for example, MTONE).

Building and Storing a Waveform Sequence

This example shows how to build and edit a waveform sequence using the two waveform segments created on
To use a segment in a sequence, the segment must reside in volatile memory; for information on loading waveform
segments from non volatile to volatile memory, see
1. Select the waveform segments:
Define a sequence as one repetition of the two–tone waveform segment followed by one repetition of the nine–tone
multitone waveform segment.
a. Press Mode > Dual ARB > Waveform Sequences > Build New Waveform Sequence > Insert Waveform.
b. Highlight the a waveform segment (for example, TTONE) and press Insert Selected Waveform.
c. Highlight a second waveform segment (for example, MTONE) and press Insert Selected Waveform.
d. Press Done Inserting
2. Optional: Enable markers as desired for the segments in the new sequence: see
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, TTONE+MTONE).
c. Press Enter.
