a. Return to the ARB Setup menu:
Press Return > More > ARB Setup.
From this menu you can access some of the signal generator settings that are saved to the file
header. Figure 8- 1 on page 69 shows the ARB Setup softkeys used in the following steps.
b. Set the ARB sample clock to 5 MHz:
Press ARB Sample Clock > 5 > MHz.
c. Set waveform runtime scaling to 60%:
Press Waveform Runtime Scaling > 60 > %.
d. Return to the Header Utilities menu:
Press Return > More > More > Header Utilities.
As shown in the following figure, the Current Inst. Settings column now reflects the
changes to the current signal generator setup, but the saved header values have not changed.
e. Save the current settings to the file header:
Press the Save Setup To Header softkey.
The settings from the Current Inst. Settings column now appear in the Saved Header
Settings column. This saves the new current instrument settings to the file header.
If you change any of the signal generator settings listed in the file header after you select the
waveform file, the changed setting(s) appear in the file header’s Current Inst. Settings column
and are used instead of the saved header settings. To reapply the saved header settings, reselect the
waveform for playback.
