Compiling Equations into
Waveform Data
AWG2021 User Manual
Use Compile to convert the assembled equation into waveform data and to
create a waveform file. This waveform file is given the same name as the
equation file it was compiled from.
Here is the procedure for compiling the equation to make a waveform file.
1. Select Compile from the bottom menu. The equation is compiled.
The busy icon is displayed on the status line of the CRT display to show that
the compilation is being processed. Cancel is displayed in the side menu.
Selecting this item cancels the compilation.
2. The equation is converted into waveform data and the waveform is dis-
played. Along with the waveform, the set number of waveform points and
clock frequency are displayed. Figure 3 -118 is an example of the display of
a compiled waveform.

3. Verify the waveform, then select Continue Operation from the side menu.
The system returns to the equation editor.
If an error is detected, an error message is displayed at the top of the screen
at high intensity and the inverted display cursor is moved to the equation or
