Selectin the tree view to display a list of waveform setups, each of which is associated with a specific user-defined hardware configuration or a predefined hardware configuration (Sim HW).
Quick setups are accessible only from the Quick Setup node in the user interface. To save your waveform setup as a file that can be shared with other users, use > or > .

You can use the System Configuration Wizard to define a new setup using actual hardware, or you can choose from predefined setups using simulated or actual hardware. You can also customize one of the existing setups and save it as a quick setup. Saving a quick setup saves the Instrument and Waveform Setup parameters.
Signal Studio software provides predefined quick setups that enable you to examine the default parameters for a particular function, while in simulated hardware mode. You can use the predefined quick setups as a starting point, modify the settings as desired, then save them as a new quick setup (see Custom Quick Setups, below). However, you cannot modify or delete the predefined quick setups.
The name and function displayed for each Quick Setup.
– Simulated hardware connection for an E4438C/E8267D/N5182A/N5182B/N5172B signal generator
– Simulated hardware connection for an PXB baseband generator and channel emulator
– Simulated hardware connection for a EXT Wireless Communications Test Set
After you have defined waveform parameters in the Instrument node and the Waveform Setup node, you can associate this waveform setup with the currently configured hardware (displayed in the Hardware node) by pressing the button and providing a name for the new Quick Setup.
To save the current waveform setup with a different hardware configuration, define the new hardware configuration using the System Configuration Wizard ( > ), then click .
If you change one or more Waveform Setup parameters, the software prompts you to save the changes as a Quick Setup when you exit. If you have changed only Hardware node or Instrument node settings, the software does not prompt you to save changes when you exit. Use the button to save these changes to a Quick Setup.
When using Windows Vista operating system, saved settings files (*.scp) are not shared between different users on the same PC unless saved to a common location that is accessible to all users.
Use the following buttons to manage your quick setups:
Click the Save As Quick Setup button to save the current hardware and software configuration as a custom quick setup. A window opens in which you can enter a name for the quick setup.
To save only hardware parameter changes, you must use the button. You are not prompted to save hardware parameter changes when closing or exiting the software if no changes were made to the waveform setup.
Click the Open Quick Setup button to open the selected quick setup. Double-clicking the name of the quick setup performs the same function.
Click the Delete Quick Setup button to delete the selected custom quick setup.
You cannot delete any of the factory default Quick Setups.
Click the Rename Quick Setup button to rename a custom quick setup.
You cannot rename any of the factory default Quick Setups.
