Multitone Waveform Generator

Applying Changes to an Active Multitone Signal

If the multitone generator is currently in use (Multitone Off On set to On) while changes are

made in the Multitone Setup table editor, you must apply the changes before the updated

waveform will be generated.

From the Multitone Setup table editor, press the following key to apply the changes and

generate a multitone waveform based on the updated values:

Apply Multitone

Storing a Multitone Waveform

In this example, you learn how to store a multitone waveform. If you have not created a

multitone waveform, complete the steps in the previous section, “Creating a Custom

Multitone Waveform” on page 272.

1. Press

More (1 of 2) > Load/Store > Store To File.

If there is already a file name from the Catalog of MTONE Files occupying the active

entry area, press the following keys:

Edit Keys > Clear Text

2. Enter a file name (for example, 5TONE) using the alpha keys and the numeric keypad.

3. Press

Enter.

The multitone waveform is now stored in the Catalog of MTONE Files.

NOTE The RF output amplitude, frequency, and operating state settings are not

stored as part of a multitone waveform file.

Recalling a Multitone Waveform

Using this procedure, you learn how to recall a multitone waveform from the signal

generator’s memory catalog.

If you have not created and stored a multitone waveform, complete the steps in the previous

sections, “Creating a Custom Multitone Waveform” on page 272 and “Storing a Multitone

Waveform” on page 274, then preset the signal generator to clear the stored multitone

waveform from volatile ARB memory.
