4.5 File Conversion on Convert Screen
ASCII-format waveform patterns generated by simulator software,
digitized files created by the MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A, MS2830A or
MS2840A Signal Analyzer using the digitize function, and waveform
patterns formatted for the MS269x, MS2830A or MS2840A can be
converted into a file so as to be used in the
MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A. Conversely, a waveform
pattern for the MG3700A/MG3710A/MG3710E/MG3740A can also be
converted into a file that can be used in the
MS2690A/MS2691A/MS2692A MS2830A or MS2840A Signal Analyzer.
The output file consists of a waveform information file (text format file
with the extension “.wvi”) that stores the information related to the
waveform pattern and a waveform data file (binary format file with the
extension “.wvd”).
When activated in MG3700 mode:
Select whether to enable/disable the ARB memory expansion option
512Msamples for the MG3700A. When With Option21 (Memory 512M
samples) is selected, the maximum size of the waveform pattern is
expanded. A waveform pattern exceeding 256 Msamples cannot be used
when the ARB memory expansion option 512Msamples is not installed.
Select either With Option21 or Without Option21 according to whether
the ARB memory expansion option 512Msamples is installed in the
MG3700A to be used or not.

When activated in MG3710 mode:
The following functions are supported.
Whether the memory option is used can be selected.
The presence/absence of the ARB Memory Expansion (option) and
Baseband Signal Combination Function (option) is selected. Selecting the
ARB Memory Expansion (option) and the Baseband Signal Combination
Function (option) generates a bigger waveform pattern, while selecting
the Baseband Signal Combination Function (option) generates a
waveform pattern. If an uninstalled option is selected, sometimes the
created waveform pattern may not be usable. Set this parameter
according to the available options for MG3710A/MG3710E shown in the
following table.
