Graphical User Interface program allows waveforms to be created by specifying harmonic
amplitudes and phase angles with respect to the fundamental. It also offers an arbitrary
waveform data entry mode that allows individual data points to be specified.

Once downloaded, waveforms remain in non-volatile memory and will be visible in the
WAVEFORMS menu for selection. The user can assign a 12-character name to each custom
waveform. Avoid using any of the standard waveform names (SINE, SQUARE or CLIPPED) as
these names will not be accepted.
Waveforms may be deleted using the remote control interface as well. Custom waveforms
cannot be deleted from the front panel however to avoid accidental erasure.
4.4.4 Waveform Groups
Waveform groups extend the number of available custom waveform to 200. Each group can
contain up to 50 user-defined waveforms. Groups are numbered 0 through 3 and may be
selected from the INITIAL SETUP 3 menu. To switch waveform groups, proceed as follows:
1. Press the MENU key three times to select the MENU 3 screen.
2. Move the cursor to the UTILITY entry and press ENTER. You are now in the UTILITY 1
menu.
3. Move the cursor to the INITIAL SETUP field and press ENTER. You are now in the INITIAL
SETUP 1 menu.
4. Move the cursor to the MORE field at the end of this menu and press the ENTER key. You
are now in the INITIAL SETUP 2 menu.
5. Move the cursor to the MORE field at the end of this menu and press the ENTER key. You
are now in the INITIAL SETUP 3 menu.
6. Move the cursor to the WAVE GROUP = field. You can now use the knob or the 0 through 3
key on the front panel to select a different waveform group.
7. Press ENTER to confirm your new selection.
