Local Settings for ARB Waveform Formats and the Dual
ARB Player
To provide you with the greatest convenience in optimizing and replicating waveforms for
play-back in the dual ARB player, settings that were previously (pre-C.03.10 firmware
release) found in only the dual ARB player have now been incorporated into each of the ARB
modulation formats. In addition, some of the I/Q waveform settings previously found in the
I/Q and MUX hardkey menus are also present in the ARB modulation formats and the dual
ARB player. These settings are shown in the following list, and explained in the sections that
follow:
• I/Q output filter
• I/Q modulator filter
• I/Q modulator attenuator
• ARB sample clock

I/Q Attenuator and Filters Settings
The I/Q output filter, modulator attenuator, and the I/Q modulator filter are now set locally
within each ARB modulation format (W-CDMA, CDMA2000, AWGN, Multitone, etc.) and the
dual ARB player. When you set these signal generator parameters within one modulation
format, they will not apply to the others. These settings are applied to the signal generator
when the modulation format is turned on or the saved waveform is selected in the dual ARB
player. They can also be saved to the header file. The I/Q output attenuator (
I/Q Output Atten
softkey located in the
I/Q and Mux hardkey menus) still maintains its original behavior in that
it is a global setting (applies to all signal generator formats).
Front Panel Changes
In pre-C.03.10 firmware releases, these three parameters were set globally from the
I/Q and/or
the
Mux hardkey menus using the Modulator Atten nnn dB Manual Auto, I/Q Output Filter Manual
Auto
, and I/Q Mod Filter Manual Auto softkeys. Now these three softkeys also appear in each of
the ARB formats and the dual ARB player. This enables you to set these parameters locally
within each ARB format and the dual ARB player. The three softkeys in the I/Q and mux
menus now apply only to the real-time formats and externally applied I/Q signals. The
real-time formats are the ones preceded with real-time on the ESG softkey labels and usually
have BBG as one of the SCPI command mnemonics. When an ARB format or the dual ARB
