Waveform Manager Plus

Arbitrary Waveform Creation and Management Software

The Waveform Manager Plus program allows construction, editing, exchange, translation

and storage of many types of waveform data. It is compatible with many popular DSOs

and many waveform generation products.

Waveforms may be generated by equation entry, freehand drawing, combining existing

waveforms or any combinations of these methods.

Data upload and download are possible via RS232 (COM1 to 4), USB or GPIB subject to

a compatible GPIB card being correctly installed and configured in your PC.

Files can also be uploaded and downloaded to and from the memory card using the USB-

connected card reader/writer supplied and the card then used directly with the instrument.

Both upload and download of waveform data are possible and, where applicable, data

exchange via 3.5 in floppy disks in the Tektronix

.ISF format is available.

Text data may be read from the Windows clipboard and used to create a waveform. The

text data format is very free and will allow most lists of numbers, with or without

intervening text, to be read as waveform data points. Waveform data may also be pasted

to the clipboard for insertion into other programs.

Waveforms are displayed in fully scaleable windows and may be manipulated

graphically. Any number of waveforms in any of the supported types may be displayed

simultaneously.

On-line help is available in three ways.

1. The help menu contains a contents option from which you can go to any section of

the on-line help file or browse particular areas or the whole file. It is also possible to

use the Index and Find operations of the Windows help system to search for items

which are not listed directly in the contents section.
