Zoom tools. Zoom in or out on the timeline. Click the + or - button, and then click on the 
waveform area. Click the 100% button to restore the timeline to its original scale. 
: 
Standard waveform shape. Use the numeric control at the bottom of the toolbar to draw 
the standard waveform according to the specified settings. 
: 
Period number. The number of periods of drawn waveform. This control should be used 
in conjunction with the standard waveform shape button. Select a standard waveform 
and set the period number to draw waveform with desired number of periods. 
: 
Minimum. This control sets the minimum signal level when the standard waveform shape 
is selected. 
: 
Maximum. This control sets the maximum signal level when the standard waveform 
shape is selected. 
: 
Duty ratio. This control sets the duty cycle when selecting a square, triangle, or diagonal 
using the standard waveform shape button. Duty cycle is defined as the time the signal is 
above zero volt divided by the total period time. Thus, a symmetric square or triangular 
wave has a duty cycle of 50%. Reducing duty cycle shortens the positive part of the cycle 
and lengthens the negative part. 
When using waveform editor software, the frequency, amplitude and offset of arbitrary 
wave cannot be adjusted, but after the waveform data is downloaded to the device, they 
can be adjusted by setting the device. 
Do not use the waveform editor and oscilloscope software at the same time, otherwise it 
will cause errors.

Method 1 
1.  Double-click the WaveEditor_Setup_Tablet1000 icon to open the software. 
2.  Connect the machine and computer with a USB cable. 
3.  Select a waveform file or draw an arbitrary waveform and click on the icon    in 
the toolbar. Then select a download location of the waveform data and download 
the waveform to Arb1~Arb4 in the signal source menu.
