SETUP Menu
General Description
The SETUP menu is used to set a variety of output parameters during actual
output of the waveforms and sequence waveforms that have been created with
the editors. The menu can display output parameter values and selected items in
both text form and as a graphic (in other words, with items connected in the form
of a circuit).
When the power to the instrument is turned on, the SETUP menu appears
automatically. Also when the power is switched on, if you have select from Disk
or from NVRam in the Auto Load item of the LOAD/SAVE menu, all the files
on the disk or in the NVRam, whichever is selected, are loaded automatically
into internal memory. If the waveform or sequence file selected with the SETUP
menu was in internal memory the last time you switched off the power, then that
file is selected.
The bottom menu consists of seven items: the six output parameters that you can
set (Clock, Waveform Sequence, CH1 Operation, Filter, Amplitude and
Offset) and the Display item which allows you to set the format for menu
displays. To set these items, press the corresponding button in the bottom menu
and use the general purpose knob or the numeric keys to set the desired value.
A waveform or sequence file that is created with the editor has the default output
parameters set in it. When the output parameters are changed with the SETUP
menu, the new settings are saved together with the waveform data in the file.
When the operating mode is Autostep, the output parameters cannot be changed
at all. If the file is locked and the operating mode is any other mode, the output
parameters can be changed, but the changes are not written to the waveform file.
For further information on locking files, see “Locking and Unlocking Files” item
in the section on editors.
This section will discuss the menus found on the AWG2021 Option 02 with the
CH2 output. Instruments without the Option 02 have no channel switching and
parameters are only set for CH1.
