Select two files, waveform A and waveform B, to mix. When the instrument enters
Waveform Mixing mode, the waveform loaded in AWG mode is selected as
Waveform A. Loading of the file in AWG mode sets data to the waveform memory
for a waveform output. On the other hand, loading of the file in Waveform Mixing
mode sets data to the work area for waveform mixing.
Please care about the following point, in case you select a waveform.
A waveform file (*.wfm), a pattern file (*.pat), or a sequence file (*.seq) can
be specified to be Waveform A and B. However, the sequence file containing
a sub sequence cannot be specified.
A pattern file and a pattern file included in the sequence file are treated as a
waveform file. A eight bit pattern of each point is treated as the real number of
the value of the range of -1 to +1.
Although the combination of a waveform file and a pattern file is free, only
combination with a sequence file is possible for a sequence file. If the illegal
file type is specified, the file of another side will become blank.
Although the numbers of points of Waveform A and Waveform B may differ,
the number of lines of a sequence file must be the same.
The sequence control parameters (Repeat Count, Wait Trigger, Go to <N>,
Logic Jump) of a sequence file of Waveform A become effective.
Coincidence of the number of lines and the check of the number restrictions of
points are performed at the time of loading of a file. It cannot load, when not
meet conditions.
The waveform file contains the clock rate value. When a file is loaded to
Waveform A and B, the clock rate value of Waveform A is set as a clock rate
value of AWG.

As for a sequence control parameter, the
value of the sequence file of Waveform A is
used.
