Edit Menu The Edit menu is used to create or edit user-defined waveforms and to import or
export waveforms. To output a user-defined waveform, waveform data must be
created in the Edit Memory and then stored in the internal or a USB memory.
Although you can output the content of Edit Memory, the content of Edit Memory
will be deleted when the instrument is powered off.
There are three ways to create a waveform in the Edit Memory:
„ Create a waveform file using the Edit Menu
„ Copy a waveform file using remote commands
„ Import a waveform file using the ArbExpress software
