  Cycles 
Set the cycles of the inserted waveform. The range is from 1 to 16 and the 
default is 1. The each cycle’s points of the inserted waveform is fixed at 
1024. 
 
  Select Waveform 
Select the waveform to be inserted. You can select the basic waveforms 
(Sine, Square, Ramp, Pulse and Noise) or the built-in waveforms (160 types 
optional, refer to Table 2-2).  
 
Note: when inserting a waveform, you should first set the insert position, insert 
way and cycles, and then select the desired waveform types (because the insert 
operation will be executed immediately after the desired waveform is selected).  
 
7.  Edit Points 
Sa is used to denote the points currently set. In point edit mode, users can 
select the number of the first Sa waveform point and set the voltage for each 
point. Press this menu key to enter the “Edit Points” interface.  
 
  Edit Points 
Select the number (1 to Sa) of the point to be edited and input the desired 
value using numeric keyboard or direction keys and knob. 
 
  Voltage 
Set the voltage of the current point (the units available are mV and V). The 
range is limited by the current “High Level” and “Low Level”.  
 
  Insert 
Insert a point at the point currently edited. The voltage of the inserted point 
is the same as the voltage value currently set and the original waveform 
data are moved behind the inserted point. At this time, the number of the 
points increases by 1.  
 
Note: 
  In sample rate editing mode, the total number of points of the 
waveform currently edited is from 8 to 16384. If the total number of 
points is 16384, no waveform point can be inserted.  
  In period editing mode, if the current total number of points is greater 
than 8192, the data after the 8192nd point will be truncated.  
 
  Delete 
Delete the current point. At this time, the number of the points decreases 
by 1.  
 
  Move Position 
Modify the voltage of the specified point to the voltage of the point
