3156B User Manual Publication No. 980897 Rev. A screen. If you made changes to the waveform area and use this command, you should save your work before clearing the screen. The New Waveform command is destructive to the displayed waveform. Open Waveform… The Open Waveform… command will let you browse your disk for previously saved waveform files and load these waveforms to the waveform area. This command is also very useful for converting waveform files to format that is acceptable by the Wave Composer. Save Waveform The Save Waveform command will store your active waveform in your 3156B directory, as a binary file with a *.wvf extension. If this is the first time you save your waveform, the Save Waveform As… command will be invoked automatically, letting you select name, location and format for your waveform file. Save Waveform As… Use the Save Waveform As… command the first time you save your waveform. It will let you select name, location and format for your waveform file. Print With this command you may print the active Waveform Window. The standard printer dialog box will appear and will let you select printer setup, or print the waveform page. Exit The Exit command ends the current FM Composer session and takes you back to the Panels screen. If you made changes to your waveform since it was last saved, make sure to Save your work before you use this command. Wave Commands The Wave commands let you create waveforms on the screen. The Wave command has a library of 6 waveforms: Sine, Triangle, Square, Exponent, Pulse, and Noise. It also lets you create waveforms using an Equation editor. Information how to create waveforms using the Wave commands is given below. Creating Waveforms From the Built-in Library You can create any waveform from the built-in library using the Wave command. Clicking on one of the Wave options will open a dialog box. An example of the Sine waveform dialog box is shown in Figure 4-25. This dialog box is representative of the rest of the waveforms, so other waveforms will not be described. Creating Sine Waveforms Use the following procedure to create sine waveforms from the built-in library. Click on Wave, then sine… the dialog box as shown in Figure 4-25 will appear. You can now start programming parameters that are available in this box. Start Point Anchor – Defines the first point where the created wave will start. Note that if you change the start point the left anchor will automatically adjust itself to the selected start point. The example WaveCAD 4-44 Astronics Test Systems
