To create custom file arb waveforms (full-arb):
A. Select and configure waveforms:
• After selecting an available waveform type, configuring its settings, and naming it, the
waveform is placed in the Scratch Pad.
• Waveforms will remain in the Scratch Pad until they are deleted by the user.
• Refer to the Waveform types on page 5-12 for information about the waveform types
available for custom file arb. Refer to Figure 5-7 and the steps that follow for details.
B. Copy the waveforms into the Sequencer for Channel 1, Channel 2, or both:
• The order that two or more waveforms appear in a channel sequencer is the order that
the waveforms will be output by that channel.
• Refer to Figure 5-8 and the steps that follow for details.
C. Save the waveforms in the Sequencer as a .kaf file. See step 5 for Figure 5-8.
D. Load the .kaf waveform file into a pulse generator (using the appropriate PG2 tab): Refer
to Figure 5-9 and the steps that follow for details.
E. Turn on the output for enabled channels. See step 7 for Figure 5-9.
