AFG3000 Series Arbitrary/Function Generators Reference Manual

The arbitrary/function generator can output a user-defined waveform that is stored 
in the internal memory, Edit Memory, or a USB memory. Table 2-4 shows the Arb 
menu.

To output a user-defined waveform, you have two options:

„

Output the contents of Edit Memory

„

Output one of user-defined waveforms stored in the internal or in a USB 
memory

To output a user-defined waveform, you must first save the file in the internal or 
USB memory. You can save up to four user-defined waveforms in the internal 
waveform memory. Waveform data in the Edit Memory can also be output, but the 
contents of Edit Memory is deleted when the instrument power is turned off.
