buffer, you must save the currently edited waveform, pattern, sequence or
equation/text into a file.
You can enter into the QUICK EDIT mode only from the waveform editor. When
you enter into the quick edit mode, the instrument copies the data in the edit buffer
into the undo buffer. All the changes you make immediately reflect to the data in
the edit buffer, and also to the data in the waveform memory if that data is being
loaded to output.
Before loading, you can view a waveform or pattern. Refer to Quick View on page
2-24 for more detail.
Viewing a Waveform
To view the loaded waveform file, push the View side menu button. The instrument
opens a window on the screen that displays the waveform, as shown in Figure 2-26.
Push the OK side menu button or ENTER front–panel button to close the view
window.

Note that the View function does not display the waveform in the waveform
memory, but displays the waveform in the file that you specified. Even though you
change the waveform with the editor and update the waveform memory, the View
function still displays the waveform before the update unless you save the file.
