AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual 2-47
Waveform Edit
To enable editing, the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator
provides you with Waveform, Pattern, Sequence, Equation, and Text Editors. See
Table 2-15 for the explanations of those editors.
Quick Edit
The Quick Editor lets you modify and/or output any part of a waveform you are
currently editing with the Waveform Editor. This is done in real time. The data
between cursors can be scaled or shifted vertically and/or horizontally
(Expand/Shift).

Editors Descriptions
Waveform Editor The Waveform Editor lets you create or edit a waveform that is being displayed
on the screen. It enables you to create any waveform by an operation such as
cut and paste, partial inversion about the horizontal or vertical axis, shift, or
scaling. This operation can be based on a standard waveform, such as a sine
or rectangular wave, or the previously created waveform.
The Waveform Editor also has a unique feature that is capable of editing a
waveform with waveform calculation functions (absolute value of waveform,
differentiation/integration, convolution, correlation,
addition/subtraction/multiplication between waveforms and so on).
Pattern Editor The Pattern Editor displays a digital signal pattern with a pattern data placed in
8–bit creation waveform memory; it creates a digital signal pattern according to
the High/Low settings you made for the individual bits.
In addition to the functions supported by the Waveform Editor, the Pattern
Editor is capable of generating frequently used digital signals unique to digital
signals and pseudo random patterns.
Sequence Editor The Sequence Editor lets you create a more complex waveform by combining
a few types of the waveform data that you have created using Waveform and/or
Pattern Editors. This editor also enables a Waveform listing jump and output
stop to take place. They follow the external event information from the EVENT
IN connector as well as the number of repetitions and the order for the
individual pieces of waveform data.
Text Editor The Text Editor creates an equation, more exactly, a waveform by a method of
equations. When a equation has been created using this editor, you need to
perform compiling.
The Text Editor also enables you to edit a plain ASCII file. It should be used to
edit ASCII–format waveform data created with another equipment as well as
this instrument itself.
