Basic Operation
Using the Instrument State Registers
6. Press Load Segment From NVWFM Memory > Return.
7. Scroll to the waveform selected in step 3.
8. Press
Select Waveform > ARB Off On to on. This causes the signal generator to play the waveform.
Saving the Instrument State
Instrument states can be saved to any one of the 10 sequences and 100 registers in instrument state memory.
In this procedure, sequence 01 and register 02 are used to store the signal generator settings associated with
the waveform file. The Save function saves instrument settings and the waveform file name but does not
save waveform data. Waveform data can only be saved to NVWFM with the Store function.
1. Press
Save > Select Seq > 01 > Select Reg > 02 > Save Reg.
The signal generator settings associated with the waveform file and the name of the waveform file are now
saved in the instrument state memory. The section “Recalling an Instrument State for a Waveform File” on
page 73 describes how to recall this instrument state and associated waveform file.
Recalling an Instrument State for a Waveform File
This procedure applies to signal generators with Option 001/601 or 002/602 and demonstrates recalling
signal generator settings associated with a waveform file. This procedure uses the same signal generator
settings and waveform file used in the previous section, “Saving an Instrument State for a Waveform File”.
1. Press
Mode > Dual ARB > Waveform Segments.
2. Scroll and select the waveform file used in the previous section.
3. Press
Load Segment From NVWFM Memory > Return > Select Waveform
4. Highlight the file selected in step 3.
5. Press
Select Waveform.
The next step recalls the signal generator settings associated with the waveform file. These settings were
saved to Seq 01 and Reg 02 in the previous procedure.
6. Press
Recall > Select Seq > 01
7. Press RECALL Reg > 01 > Enter.
The signal generator is now setup with the same settings associated with the waveform previously saved to
NVWFM.
