File

New disposes the current settings and sets the software to its initial state 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 File > New to prevent the loss of data.

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

Save Settings File saves a setting file to a specified file name. 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.

Export Waveform Data saves an encrypted waveform file (with a.wfm extension) to the disk. This waveform file can then be downloaded to any MXG/EXG/ESG/PSG signal generators licensed for the N7623C Signal Studio software. this is only activated when a waveform has been generated. To download a saved waveform to a signal generator, refer to that signal generator's Programming Guide.

Most Recently Used Files displays the four most recent settings files that were either opened with Open Settings File or saved with Save Settings File 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 close button performs the same function. 

Control

Generate generates a waveform file in accordance with the current configuration. The waveform generation time varies proportionally to the complexity of the waveform.

Download generates and downloads a waveform to the connected instrument (s).

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

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 opens ClosedStep 1 of the System Configuration Wizard, where you can configure your system component connections and save the hardware configuration for later use. Use the System Configuration Wizard to set up a new instrument connection. Use Quick Setups to save a new setup or select a saved setup that includes hardware connections and software settings.

Tools

Options enables or disables the Closedwelcome dialog display.

 

Convert Waveform updates header information in legacy Signal Studio waveform files (*.wfm) so they can be used with N7623C-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.

Format

The following menu items are used to choose the format of the waveform to be generated.

Selecting an item in this menu enables the corresponding parameter setup to be displayed in the parameter view. Only one can be checked. If one unchecked item is clicked, then this item will be checked and the others will become unchecked. For more information, please refer to Waveform Setup.
