Load Waveform
Waveforms can be generated by loading a previously saved .wfa file or by entering a waveform code in the Common section of the Waveform tab.
Previously Saved Waveforms
Waveform files saved from a previous session in the GUI application can be loaded easily. The files have the extension .wfa and are stored in your application folder or the user-defined waveform directory.
» With the program open, click on the Waveform tab if you are not already in the Waveform Panel.
Sidenote: F11 allows switching between waveform plot color schemes.
» Click on the drop-down list and select one of the saved waveforms. The
drop-down list displays all .wfa files saved in the working directory.
» Change any parameters if desired, and then press the Download button at the bottom of the waveform panel or from the right-click pop-up menu. Wait until the waveform finishes downloading to the AWG module, and then restart the waveform.
