File

New sets the software to its initial state (one W-CDMA downlink carrier configured with TestModel1 with 64 DPCH channels) using the current hardware configuration. The window name changes to Untitled. Rename and save the new setup as a settings (.scp) file (saving only the software parameters), or as a Quick Setup (saving the current hardware and software parameters).

You must save the current software parameter settings before selecting New to prevent the loss of data.

Open... opens a saved settings (.scp) file. Opening a settings file configures only the waveform data parameters for use with the currently selected hardware. To use a settings file with a different hardware configuration, select Change Hardware Settings, or Run System Configuration Wizard to configure new hardware. 

Use Quick Setups to open a saved settings file that includes the hardware connection and software settings.

Save As... saves only waveform data settings to a specified settings (.scp) file. Settings files do not contain the hardware configuration data. To save a settings file with a specific hardware configuration, select Change Hardware Settings, or Run System Configuration Wizard to configure new hardware. When a file is saved it is added to the top of the Most Recently Used Files list. 

Use Quick Setups to save the current hardware configuration with your waveform setup.

Export Waveform Data... saves an encrypted waveform file (with a .wfm file extension) to your PC. This waveform can then be downloaded and played in other licensed instruments or ADS design libraries. If a waveform is configured, but has not been generated, this selection also generates the waveform. 

Refer to your signal generator's Programming Guide or the online help for information about downloading waveform files to your instruments.

Most Recently Used Files displays the four most recent settings files that were either opened with Open... or saved with Save as.... The settings file used most recently is added to the top of the list. Deleting a settings file does not immediately remove it from the list. Selecting a deleted settings file displays an error then removes the file from the list.

Exit stops and closes the software. If you made any waveform setup changes, a dialog box is displayed asking if you want to save the changes as a quick setup before exiting. The Closedclose button performs the same function.

To save any hardware parameter changes, you must use the Save As Quick Setup button. You are not prompted to save Hardware parameter changes when closing or exiting the software unless changes are also made to the Waveform Setup parameters.

Control

Download enables you to generate and download a waveform to the hardware.   

When a power-sensitive DUT is connected to the instrument, ensure that the RF power is off before downloading a waveform.

Generate enablesyou to generate a waveform. Use to check for waveform errors before downloading or exporting the waveform.

Update Hardware Settings sends the current hardware configuration to the connected instrument. If the configuration is not received by the instrument, an error message describing the problem appears.

System

Change Hardware Connections displays a list of saved hardware connections. This menu choice opens the ClosedSystem Configuration wizard, where you can select a previously saved hardware configuration, or configure and save a new hardware setup.

Run System Configuration Wizard enables you to configure your system component connections and save the hardware configuration for later use. Use ClosedRun System Configuration wizard to set up a new instrument connection, or use Quick Setups to save and change between complete setups that include the hardware connection and software settings.

Tools

Status Window enables you to turn the Status Window on or off.  

Waveform Generation Log works with only the Adv W-CDMA/HSDPA DL Rel 6 carrier, and creates a transport layer information summary log for the P-CCPCH, PICH, and the HS-SCCH.

For the P-CCPCH, the Waveform Generation Log displays the summary information with only the BCH (transport channel) data selection.

To view the Waveform Generation ClosedLog:

  1. Open the Waveform Generation Log.

  2. Click the Generate Waveform button to generate the channel information summary.

Options lets you enable or disable the Closedwelcome dialog display.

Convert Waveform updates header information in legacy Signal Studio waveform files (*.wfm) so they can be used with N7600C-licensed instruments. Clicking this selection opens a file management window where you can select multiple waveform files at once. Click OK to begin the conversion. A progress bar is displayed. When complete, the converted waveform files appear in the same directory as the originals, keeping their same file names, but with "_new" appended to them. The original files remain unchanged.
