Waveform Files (Segments and Sequences)
Waveform Files (Segments and Sequences)
There are two types of waveform files:
—A segment is a waveform file that you download to the signal generator.
For information on creating and downloading waveform files, refer to the Programming Guide.
—A sequence is a file you create in the signal generator that contains pointers to one or more
waveform files (segments, other sequences, or both).
For information on creating sequences, see “Waveform Sequence Softkeys” on page 158.
Signal Generator Memory (Volatile and Non-Volatile)
The signal generator has two types of memory:
— Volatile memory, baseband generator (BBG) media, where waveform files are played from or
edited.
— Non–volatile memory, either internal (int) or external (USB) media, where waveform files are
stored.
