Menu
The Waveform/Sequence menu is used for loading, viewing, and editing
waveform files.
The Load... button lets you load a waveform (.wfm), pattern (.pat), or sequence
(.seq) file to output. Do the following steps to load a file:
1. Push SETUP (front)
!Waveform/Sequence (bottom)!Load... (side).
The instrument displays the file select list.
2. Select a waveform file (.wfm), pattern file (.pat) or sequence (.seq) from the
file listing in the Select File dialog box that appears on the screen.
3. Push the OK side button.
Waveform and Pattern File Restrictions. The following list describes some
restrictions regarding the loading of waveform and pattern files.
H The waveform and pattern files can be loaded from different drives and/or
directories.
H If you try to load a file that is larger than the available waveform memory, or
that is not a waveform (.wfm), sequence (.seq) or pattern (.pat) format file,
the instrument displays the following error message and clears the waveform
memory:
Illegal file format
A valid waveform, sequence, or pattern file needs to be loaded.
Sequence Files. The following list describes some restrictions on loading
sequence files.
H When sequence file loading fails, the instrument clears loaded output file
names and waveform memory.
H Sequence file loading fails if any one of the following conditions are true:
H There is a null character (“ ”) in the CH1 file name field of the sequence
table.
H The instrument cannot locate the waveform, pattern, or subsequence file
specified in the sequence table. All waveform, pattern, and subsequence
files must be at the same location and the instrument drive and path
settings must point to that location.
