Storing a User-Defined Burst Shape Curve
1. Press Define User Burst Shape > More (1 of 2) > Load/Store > Store To File.
If there is already a file name from the Catalog of SHAPE Files occupying the active entry
area, press the following keys:
Editing Keys > Clear Text
2. Enter a file name (for example, NEWBURST) using the alpha keys and the numeric keypad.
The maximum file name length is 23 characters (alphanumeric and special characters).
3. Press Enter.
The contents of the current Rise Shape and Fall Shape table editors are stored to the Catalog
of SHAPE Files. This burst shape can now be used to customize a modulation or as a basis for a
new burst shape design.
Recalling a User-Defined Burst Shape Curve
Once a user-defined burst shape file is stored in memory, it can be recalled for use with real-time
I/Q baseband generated digital modulation.
This example requires a user-defined burst shape file stored in memory. If you have not created and
stored a user-defined burst shape file, complete the steps in the previous sections,
“Creating a User-Defined Burst Shape Curve” on page 272 and
“Storing a User-Defined Burst Shape Curve” on page 274.
