Basic Digital Operation
Arbitrary (ARB) Waveform File Headers
3. Press the Select Waveform softkey.
4. Press
ARB Off On to On.
5. Press
ARB Setup > Header Utilities.
6. Edit the file header.
a. If you have a default file header, go to “Modifying Header Information” on page 94, read the
additional information for step one, and then perform the rest of the steps in the procedure.
b. If you need to edit an existing file header, start with step three in the “Modifying Header
Information” procedure on page 94.
Viewing the file header with the Dual ARB Player Off
One of the differences between the dual ARB player and other Arb formats is that you can view a file header
without the dual ARB being on (
ARB Off On softkey set to Off). However, you cannot edit the displayed file
header. This was done to prevent an accidental change to a file header for an AUTOGEN_WAVEFORM file that
may be playing in a modulation format. With the dual ARB player turned off, perform the following steps.
1. Press
Mode > Dual ARB > Select Waveform.
2. Using the arrow keys, highlight the desired waveform file.
3. Press the
Select Waveform softkey.
4. Press
ARB Setup > Header Utilities.
The file header is displayed in the ESG display and you can see that the file header editing softkeys are
grayed-out (inactive) as shown in Figure 4-6 on page 102.
