Basic Digital Operation
Using the Dual ARB Waveform Player
NOTE It is important to make a backup copy of any 5-Pack waveforms and store them on a
computer or other media. Do not store the backup copy on the signal generator. If all of the
copies of the waveforms are deleted or lost, then there is no way to recover the waveform or
reassign the license. Refer to the Programming Guide for information on extracting
waveform files.
Using Waveform 5-Pack History
The Waveform 5-Pack History softkeys can be used to manage the Waveform 5-Pack files on your signal
generator. The 5-Pack History softkeys can be used to:
• Create a list for a specific Waveform 5-Pack licensed waveform including any renamed files that have
been leveraged from that licensed waveform
• Create a list of all licensed and unlicensed waveforms on the signal generator
The
5-Pack History softkey is only active, if you have previously stored a Waveform 5-Pack file in
non-volatile memory (NVWFM). The softkey
5-Pack History also tracks the history of licensed waveform
files that may no longer be available in non-volatile memory (e.g. if the waveform file has been deleted from
non-volatile memory, the 5-Pack History softkey remains active). 5-Pack History retains a catalog of the
Redemption Date, Waveform ID, and the Original Filename.
Finding the History of a Waveform 5-Pack License
Use the following procedure to list a catalog of licensed Waveform 5-Pack files in the non-volatile memory
(NVWFM).
1. On the signal generator:
a. Press
Mode > Dual ARB > ARB Setup > Waveform Utilities > 5-Pack Licensing > 5-Pack History
b. Use the arrow keys to highlight the cataloged file.
c. Press
Find Waveform
The instrument displays a catalog titled “Waveform 5-Pack Search Results”. This catalog
displays a list of all of the files that are copies of the original file that was licensed with the
Waveform 5-Pack licensing.
NOTE If no files are found, you can reload the backup copies that were made in Step e on
page 116.
