Many of the functions for the Signal Studio software are accessed from the menu bar and tool bar. The tool bar consists of a subset of the most commonly used functions found in the menu bar.
resets all parameters to default settings.
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 Connections, 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.
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 Connections,
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.
saves an encrypted waveform file (with a .wfm extension) to your PC. This waveform file can then be downloaded and played in other licensed signal generators. If a waveform is configured, but has not been generated, this selection also generates the waveform.
To download a saved waveform to a signal generator, refer to the signal generator's Programming Guide.
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 close 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.
creates a TD-SCDMA I/Q waveform file and plots the CCDF graph in accordance
with the current waveform setup. Waveform generation time varies proportionally
to the complexity of the waveform. If there is invalid parameter usage,
it will be automatically coupled to the right value before the waveform
can be generated.
enables you to generate and download a waveform to the hardware. The signal
generator automatically begins to play the signal.
When a power-sensitive DUT is connected to the signal generator, ensure that the RF power is off before downloading a waveform.
displays a list of saved hardware system
connections. This menu choice opens Step 2 of the System Configuration Wizard,
where you can select a previously saved hardware system configuration,
or configure and save a new hardware system setup.
Run System Configuration Wizard
to setup a new system connection, or use Quick
Setups to save and change between complete setups that include the
hardware connection and software settings.
lets you enable or disable
the welcome dialog
display.
updates header information in legacy Signal Studio waveform files (*.wfm) so they can be used with N7612C-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.
opens the help system and displays the table of contents. Press F1 to do the same.
opens the help system and displays the search utility.
opens the API help system, including programming commands and descriptions.
opens the Keysight Software End-User License Agreement (EULA).
opens the Signal Studio web page, describing products, options, and bundles.
