EDIT Menu
3 Ć20
AWG2021 User Manual
The three waveform items (Waveform1, Waveform2 and Waveform3) will be
displayed in the side menu. You will select the waveform to be edited from these
items.
11. Select Waveform2 from the side menu. A box will appear around the editing
area to indicate that this waveform has been selected.
To close a waveform, once again select that Waveform from the side menu and
then select Close/Write from the bottom menu. See “Saving Files and Exiting
the Editor” in this section.
When you select Close/Write from the bottom menu, the newly created or edited
file currently selected in the side menu will be saved to the instrument’s internal
memory and the waveform editor will disappear.
NOTE. The procedure for saving files and exiting the editor is the same for all
editors. The only difference is that the Close/Write item in the waveform editor
changes to Exit/Write in the other editor. (The word “Close” is used in the
waveform editor because more than one waveform is opened in this editor.)
Select Close/Write from the bottom menu to display a side menu containing
Write and Close, Close without Writing, and Write menu items. These
functions are explained next.
Write and Close. When a new file is created, if you select Write and Close, a
menu for naming the file is displayed. Input the file name, then select O.K. from
the sub-menu. The file is saved into internal memory with that name and the
system returns to the initial menu. If Cancel is selected, the input file name is
canceled and the system returns to the editor.
When you exit the editor after editing an existing file and you select Write and
Close, the menu for naming the file is not displayed. Instead, the system
immediately returns to the initial menu and the file created in internal memory is
saved with the existing file name.
Close without Writing. When this item is selected, the system returns to the initial
menu without saving the created or edited file to internal memory. In this case, a
message asking you if it is ok to erase the created data is displayed on the CRT
screen. Reply O.K. or Cancel.
Write. When Write is selected, the file name menu is displayed. If you input or
change the file name, then select the sub-menu O.K. item, the created or edited
waveform data is saved into internal memory with that file name and the system
returns to the editor it has been in. If the file name is changed, the old file is left
