IntroductionNearly all consumer products today have circuits or devices that require the input of specific electronic signals in order for the product to perform correctly. This input could be as simple as the signal from an automotive knock sensor, or as complex as a serial data communication bus signal such as Controller Area Network (CAN) or Inter IC Bus (I 2C) signal. When designing and testing these devices, a mechanism is required to replicate the input signals. In many cases it may also be useful to add noise or other anomalies to the signals to test the devices under real world and stress conditions. A common approach is to create these signals using software applications or just capture a live signalusing an oscilloscope. This created or captured waveform isthen loaded in an Arbitrary/Function Generator (AFG) such as the AFG3000 Series and AFG2000 Series from Tektronix. The AFG can replicate this signal repeatedly to test the final circuit design in a controlled environment such as a temperature chamber or EMC testing room. Since replicated signals can be easily modified they allow control over the testing to verify full reliability of the device being tested. Some oscilloscopes, like the MDO3000 and MDO4000C Series, include an integrated AFG and can capture, modify and replicate the signal all in one instrument.This application note will guide you through the steps required to replicate real world signals using the Tektronix AFG product and ArbExpress software.Replicating Real World Signals with an Arbitrary/Function GeneratorApplication NoteAFG Basics First, let’s discuss what an Arbitrary/Function Generator is. Fundamentally, the Arbitrary Waveform Generator part of the AFG is a sophisticated playback system that produces waveforms based on stored digital data that describes the constantly changing voltage levels of an AC signal. To put the arbitrary concept in familiar terms, it is much like a CD player that reads out a digitally encoded analog audio signal from a disk in real time. The Arbitrary Waveform capability of the AFG offers a degree of versatility that few instruments can match. With its ability to produce almost any waveform imaginable, the AFG embraces applications ranging from automotive sensor simulation to wireless network stress testing.The Function Generator part of the AFG produces stable as well as accurate and agile waveforms in standard shapes – particularly the all-important sine and square waves. Agility is the ability to change quickly and cleanly from one frequency to another. Most AFGs offer some subset of the following familiar wave shapes: Sine Square Triangle Sweep Pulse Ramp M odulation HaversineFigure 1.Flow chart of signal replication process.Application Note/signal_sources2Today’s AFGs are designed to provide improved phase, frequency, and amplitude control of the output signal. Moreover, many AFGs offer a way to modulate the signal from internal or external sources, which is essential for some types of standards compliance testing. Creating Arbitrary WaveformsThroughout most of this note, we will be discussing the Arbitrary Waveform capability of the AFG. In order touse it, you must first create the signal to be generated. Several methods are available for this. The more common approaches are to use software to draw the waveform from specifications or to capture the waveform using an oscilloscope and then send this to the AFG for generation. We will explore both of these methods.Capture Engine Knock Sensor SignalFor our first example we will capture an automotive knock sensor output using an oscilloscope, send this to theAFG and use the replicated signal to evaluate the engine computer control system.A knock sensor is a small piezo-electrical device that is found on any newer automobile. When coupled with the Electronic Control Modules (ECM), it can identify when knock occurs and retard the ignition timing accordingly. Generating different amplitudes and timing of this knock sensor signal can greatly speed up overall testing of the ECM design and eliminate the requirement to wait for the engine to knock in order to accurately test the ECM device. Without the use of a signal source to generate this signal, evaluation of the design would be a much harder task. To capture a real life knock signal including all overlaid distortions and anomalies, one needs to probe the output signal of the piezo-sensor and capture the signal while the engine is running. The sensor signal should represent the signal and timing produced by all cylinders of that particular engine. The next step is to extract one knock of one cylinder and replicate this signal with the AFG.In our case, we first capture a non-distorted signal and potentially add anomalies throughout the test procedure. Waiting for the engine to knock can be a tedious task. Therefore, to capture the signal we will use a known good sensor, remove the sensor from the engine and tap it with a small wrench to simulate an engine knock. This approach works very well to simulate how the sensor reacts to a true engine knock. The resultant waveform is then capturedon a Tektronix portable TPS2000 Series oscilloscope. It represents the ideal signal of one knock and one cylinder of the Engine. See Figure 2.Figure 2.Knock sensor captured on oscilloscope./signal_sources3Replicating Real World Signals with an Arbitrary/Function GeneratorUsing ArbExpress™ Software Scope Acquisition WizardOnce the signal has been captured on the oscilloscope,we can use Tektronix’ AFG’s free companion software, “ArbExpress” and its Scope Acquisition Wizard to grabthe waveform from the oscilloscope. This is done via the oscilloscope’s supported TekVisa connections such as LAN, GPIB or RS232. The acquisition wizard takes you through the required steps which ensure you grab just the portionof the waveform you are interested in. If you want the complete waveform, ArbExpress™ software can also import it directly or open .CSV file formats that many oscilloscopes support.Adding Noise to the Imported Waveform After importing the waveform, ArbExpress software allows for editing of the waveform. Various tools such as free hand drawing, point draw and waveform math give the user ample freedom and flexibility to modify the waveform. To test the final device under real world or extreme conditions one can easily add noise or anomalies to the waveform. This eliminates the effort of capturing a "distorted" signal with an oscilloscope. One can simply add the distortions with ArbExpress.Transfer Edited Waveform to AFGOnce the waveform looks exactly how you want it, you can easily transfer it using ArbExpress software directlyto an AFG, an MDO3000 with option MDO3AFG, or an MDO4000C with option MDO4AFG, through a USB, LAN or GPIB interface. If desired, the waveform can also be saved on a USB memory device and opened directly on the AFG instrument using its USB port on the front panel. Via the USB memory device, libraries of waveforms can be saved and opened effortlessly.Figure 3. ArbExpress Scope Acquisition Wizard.Figure 4.ArbExpress Math Function to add Noise. Application Note/signal_sources4Once the waveform is transferred or loaded into thearbitrary waveform memory of the AFG, the large display shows the waveform that will be generated. This takes the guesswork out of knowing whether you have loaded the correct waveform. The final steps are to set the desired amplitude and frequency (repetition rate of the waveform memory used), and to turn on the output. This allows for easy testing of the ECM device with different amplitudes of the sensor pulse. One can also activate a variable noise source in the signal generator output path to test for the amount of noise the ECM can tolerate.Synchronizing Multiple InstrumentsSince automobiles have multi-cylinder engines, two or more dual-channel AFGs need to be synchronized in order to provide the required number of inputs to the ECM. To synchronize multiple single or dual channel AFGs, designate one as master and connect its external reference output to the external reference inputs of the other instruments. To gain even more precise timing synchronization, connect the master's TTL trigger output with the trigger input of the connected slaves. Additional timing control is available through an easily adjustable phase offset between the two channels within an instrument.Creating Serial Data SignalsIn automotive applications, other sensors andcommunication circuits also require replication and testing. To mention only some, Antilock Brake Systems andTransmission Control Systems often use elaborate control communication such as serial data buses like CAN. Display and control devices may use I2C devices. All these signals can easily be captured with an oscilloscope and replicated using an arbitrary/function generator. However, for serial data buses it may be more useful to create the clock and data signals directly as logic signals. Then, noise and other anomalies can be added to verify the DUT’s operation, just as described in our previous example.Figure 5.AFG3000 Series USB front panel adapter.Figure 6. Synchronizing 2 AFG3000 Series instruments./signal_sources 5Replicating Real World Signals with an Arbitrary/Function GeneratorCreating I 2C Clocks and Data with ArbExpress ™ SoftwareIn the following case, we will use ArbExpress to create the serial clock and data required to drive an I 2C LED drivercircuit. We will then send these waveforms to a two-channel AFG for generation. This same technique can be used for other communication buses such as CAN.Identifying Timing RequirementsBefore creating the logic messages to drive the I 2C device, one needs to understand the timing diagrams of the device specifications. For this example, we have determined that the device needs 76 clock cycles to send one message that defines the LED device, the brightness and the segments to be illuminated. The clock and data waveforms are overlaid in Figure 7.Using ArbExpress ™ Software Standard DC Waveform to Define Waveform LengthTo create these waveforms using ArbExpress we begin with a standard DC waveform and define a waveform length of 76 points (creating a DC waveform will just be used as a way of defining how many points we want in our waveform).Create Clock and Data Logic with the Marker EditorWe then use the Marker display and edit features tocreate the logic waveforms. Markers are defined as digital outputs and available on many high performance Arbitrary Waveform Generators (AWGs). As the AFG supports analog waveforms, we will convert these marker waveforms to analog waveforms. Creating the clock waveform only takes a right mouse click on the Mrk1 display and selecting “Create 0/1 pattern”. Once the clock waveform is created we can create the data waveform. For that, we use the cursors to define an area and then a mouse click on the Mrk2 display to select “Make High”, see Figure 8.This operation sets the area between the two cursors to “1” or “high”. In this fashion, we define all high bits needed for this message. You may also notice in Figure 9 that the first and last bit of the clock (Mrk1) and Data (Mrk2) are set to high. This is used to identify the beginning and ending of the I 2C message being sent and used for synchronization, see Figure 9.Figure 7. I 2C clock and data requirements.Figure 8.ArbExpress Markers “Make High” function.Application Note/signal_sources6The analog data required for the AFG is created by simply saving the waveform and markers as a single ASCII (.CSV) file. Once saved, the marker data will be found in column 2 and 3. Just copy and paste these individual columns into separate csv files and then open them using ArbExpress. The marker information will now be opened as Analog Data (see Figure 10). If required, noise or other anomalies can be added using ArbExpress, and then the final signals sent directly to the AFG using the Send to ARB function, or save them to a USB memory device.Generating the Final OutputThe clock waveform is loaded to one channel of the AFG and the data waveform to the other channel. The dual channel models of the AFG enable you to lock the amplitude and frequency of the independent channelstogether. When adjusting these parameters on one channel the other channel will then automatically follow suit. This enables quick testing where two synchronous channels are needed. Note that when adjusting the frequency of an arbitrary waveform you are adjusting the repetition rate of the window of data being generated. So in this example you will be adjusting how fast these 76 clock cycles will be repeated.ConclusionAs we have seen with these examples, replicatingautomotive knock sensor signals and serial data buses such as I2C become simple tasks when using an AFG and ArbExpress ™ software. Beyond that, the describedtechnique can be used for many different applications. With the AFG instruments capability of 128K points of arbitrary waveform memory, most data messages required for automotive communication can easily be achieved. In these examples we have used automotive applications, but most electronic applications also require the ability to replicate and generate real world signals. With an AFG, an MDO3000 with option MDO3AFG, or an MDO4000C with option MDO4AFG, and ArbExpress ™ software, replicating real world signals is a simple task. With its unprecedented ease of use, dual channel capability and companion ArbExpress software, the AFG reduces the time required for many operational and stress tests during component and device design qualifications. Also with features such as burst, sweep and modulation control on the AFG, many other applications can use this single instrument thattechnicians and engineers can easily become familiar with.Figure 9.

A | Page 1 of 12FEATURESFull-featured evaluation board for the AD5544Graphic user interface software for board control and data analysisConnector to EVAL-SDP-CB1Z system demonstration platform boardVarious power supply optionsAPPLICATIONSAutomatic test equipment InstrumentationDigitally controlled calibrationGENERAL DESCRIPTIONThe AD5544 quad, 16-bit, current output, digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is designed to operate in a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply range. But this voltage is limited up to 3.3 V due to EV AL-SDP-CB1Z restrictions.The applied external reference input voltage (V REF x) determines the full-scale output current. Integrated feedback resistors (R FB x) provide temperature-tracking, full-scale voltage outputs when combined with an external I-to-V precision amplifier. A double-buffered serial data interface offers high speed, 3-wire, SPI- and microcontroller-compatible inputs using serial data in (SDI), chip select (CS ), and clock (CLK) signals. In addition, a serial data out pin (SDO) allows for daisy-chaining when multiple packages are used. A common, level-sensitive, load DAC strobe (LDAC ) input allows the simultaneous update of all DAC outputs from previously loaded input registers. Additionally, an internal power-on reset forces the outputvoltage to 0 at system turn on. An MSB pin allows system reset assertion (RS ) to force all registers to zero code when MSB = 0 or to half-scale code when MSB = 1.The AD5544 is packaged in a compact 28-lead SSOP . The EV AL-AD5544/45SDZ board is used in conjunction with the EV AL-SDP-CB1Z system demonstration platform (SDP) board available from Analog Devices, Inc., which is purchased separately from the evaluation board. The USB-to-SPI communication to the AD5544 is completed using this Blackfin®-based demonstration board. The software offers a waveform generator.FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM09900-001Figure 1.UG-285Evaluation Board User GuideRev.

These tools arecomprised of:• Energy meter reference design• 1-pin emulator with isolated USB interface• Isolated USB to UART debugger interface• Downloader software• Evaluation software• Integrated development environment from well-known vendor• Firmware libraries for common and part specific functionsThe energy meter reference design integrates the main functions of an LCD meter withIR port and RS-485 communication, battery backup, two current sensors, antitamperinterface, and EEPROM interface while using the features of the ADE71xx and ADE75xxseries such as battery management, antitamper detection, temperature compensatedreal-time clock, and LCD driver contrast.The reference design is accompanied by code libraries and an example of systemintegration code allowing easy evaluation and further development of solution.Isolated USB communication boards for debugging and emulation provide a safesolution for code development when the meter is connected to the line.The ADE71xx and ADE75xx series can be used with integrated developmentenvironments (IDE) from open market vendors to simulate, compile, debug, anddownload assembly or C code. A free of charge IDE with unlimited assembly codecapability and 4 kB limited C code capability is included in the evaluation kit. Inaddition, the part can be evaluated with a UART interface and a PC by using theversatile evaluation tools and downloader.Single-Phase Energy Metering ICs with Integrated OscillatorThe AD71056, ADE7768, and ADE7769 are single-phase ICs that provide watt-hour information using pulse outputs that directly drive a stepper motor counter.The AD71056, ADE7768, and ADE7769 are pin-reduced versions of the ADE7755, with the enhancement of an on-chip, precisionoscillator circuit that serves as the clock source for the IC. The direct interface to low resistance, low cost shunt resistors also helps to lower the cost of a meter built with AD71056, ADE7768, or ADE7769.These products are pin compatible. The AD71056 and ADE7769 accumulate bidirectional power information, and the ADE7768accumulates power only in the positive direction providing flexibility for various billing schemes. The ADE7769 indicates when the power is below the no-load threshold by holding the calibration frequencypin high. This is useful to indicate a tampering or miswired condition.Single-Phase Energy Metering ICs with Antitamper FeaturesThe ADE7761B detects two common tampering conditions: “fault” condition (when loads are grounded to earth instead of connected to neutral wire or when the meter is bypassed with external wires) and “missing neutral” condition (when the voltage input and return current are missing). The ADE7761B incorporates a novel tampering detection scheme which indicates the fault or missing neutral conditions and allows the meter to continue accurate billing by continuous monitoring of the phase and neutral (return) currents. A fault is indicated when these currents differ by more than 6.25%, and billing continues using the larger of the two currents. The missing neutral condition is detected when no voltage input is present, and billing is continued based on the active current signal. The ADE7761B also includes a power-supply monitoring circuit which ensures that the voltage and current channels are matched,eliminating creep effects in the meter.Polyphase Energy Metering ICs with Pulse OutputThe ADE7752A, ADE7752B, and ADE7762 are polyphase ICs that provide watt-hour information using pulse outputs that can directly drive a stepper motor counter. Compatible with a wide range of 3-phase grid configurations, including 3-wire and 4-wire delta and wye distributions, each of these products can be used for 3-phase commercial and industrial revenue meters or submeters, 3-phase motors or generators, industrial control, and utility automation. The ADE7762 and ADE7752B are optimized for 3-phase, 3-wire applica-tions with no-load threshold and REVP indication based on the sum of the phases.To ensure that energy is billed properly under miswiring or tamper-ing conditions, any of the ICs can be set to accumulate based on the sum of the absolute value in each phase. The active power accumu-lation is signed by default.The ADE7762 has four additional logic output pins. These four pins drive six LEDs for prioritized indication of phase dropout and phasesequence error as well as reverse polarity per phase.ADE7752A and ADE7752B are pin compatible with the legacy ADE7752 and have up to a 50% power consumption reduction from ADE7752. The four additional pins of ADE7762 are located at the top of the package so that the same PCB may be used with an ADE7752A-, ADE7752B-, or ADE7762-based meter.10Single-Phase Energy Metering ICs with Serial InterfaceADI has a range of product offerings for single-phase energy measurement solutions requiring serial interface. The ADE7756 measures active energy and allows digital calibration of phase, offset, and gain through a serial port interface. The ADE7759 has a built-in digital integrator for direct interface with a di/dt sensor such as a Rogowski coil and includes the capability to interface with low resistance shunts and traditional current transformers. The ADE7753 provides active, apparent, and reactive energy measurements, and incorporates a built-in digital integrator to allow direct interface with a Rogowski coil sensor in addition to a low resistance shunt or CT. The ADE7763 provides the same functionality as the ADE7753 but without reactive energy measurement. All four of these ADE single-phase energy metering ICs with SPI are pin compatible for ease of design migration.11Polyphase Energy Metering ICs with Serial InterfaceADI has a selection of product offerings for3-phase energy measurement solutions requiring serial interface. The ADE7758 features second-order sigma-delta ADCs, and is designed formidrange 3-phase energy meters. For each phase, the chip measures active, reactive, and apparent energy, as well as rms voltage and rms current. These measurements are accessed via an SPI that allows a fully automated digital calibration. The ADE7758 interfaces with a variety of sensors, including current transformers and di/dt current sensors, such as Rogowski coils. Additionally, the ADE7758 provides a programmable frequency pulse output for both active and apparent orreactive power.Analog Devices, Inc.Worldwide Headquarters Analog Devices, Inc.

General DescriptionThe DIODES™ AL8863 is a step-down DC-DC controller de-signed to drive LEDs with high output current. The device oper-ates at an input supply voltage from 4.5V to 60V. Series connec-tion of the LEDs provides identical LED currents resulting in uni-form brightness and eliminating the need for ballast resistors. The switching frequency range of AL8863 is from 50kHz to 1MHz. The wide operating frequency range allows more flexibility on compo-nent selection, and also with operating up to 1MHz, it allows the use of smaller size external components, hence minimizing the PCB size and driver board.The output current of AL8863 is set via an external resistor con-nected between the VIN and CSN input pins. Dimming is achieved by applying a PWM signal at the DIM input pin. The soft-start time can be adjusted using an external capacitor from the DIM pin to ground.The AL8863 is available in the thermally enhanced SO-8EP pack-age.

display capabilities for analog designs. The Analog Waveform Display tool can be used in conjunction with Analog Artist or in stand-alone mode with the Spectre simulator.simulate analog designs.The preface discusses the following:s Related Documents on page6s T ypographic and Syntax Conventions on page6Related DocumentsThe following documents give you more information about tools used to design analog and mixed-signal circuits:Analog Artist Design Environment User GuideSpectre User Guide and Spectre ReferenceDesign Framework II HelpAnalog Artist SKILL Functions ReferenceAnalog Expression Language ReferenceCadence Installation GuideTypographic and Syntax ConventionsThis list describes the syntax conventions used in this manual.literal Nonitalic words indicate keywords that you must enter literally.These keywords represent command (function, routine) oroption names.argument (z_argument)Words in italics indicate user-defined arguments for which youmust substitute a name or a value. (The characters before theunderscore (_) in the word indicate the data types that thisargument can take. Names are case sensitive. Do not type theunderscore (z_) before your arguments.)[ ]Brackets denote optional arguments....Three dots (...) indicate that you can repeat the previousargument.If you use them with brackets,you can specify zero ormore arguments. If they are used without brackets, you mustspecify at least one argument, but you can specify more. argument...Specify at least one, but more are possible. [argument]...Specify zero or more.,... A comma and three dots together indicate that if you specifymore than one argument,you must separate those arguments bycommas.If a command line or SKILL expression is too long tofit inside the paragraph margins of this document, the remainder of the expression is put on the next line, indented. For example: ?callback "cdfgData->pName1->value = cdfgData->pName2->value")When writing the code,put a backslash(\)at the end of any line that continues on to the next line.SKILL Syntax ExamplesThe following examples show typical syntax characters used in SKILL.Example 1list( g_arg1 [g_arg2] ...)=>l_resultExample 1 illustrates the following syntax characters.list Plain type indicates words that you must enter literally.g_arg1Words in italics indicate arguments for which you must substitutea name or a value.( )Parentheses separate names of functions from their arguments. _An underscore separates an argument type (left) from anargument name (right).[ ]Brackets indicate that the enclosed argument is optional.=>A right arrow points to the return values of the function.Also usedin code examples in SKILL manuals....Three dots indicate that the preceding item can appear anynumber of times.Example 2needNCells(s_cellType |st_userTypex_cellCount)=>t/nilExample 2 illustrates two additional syntax characters.|Vertical bars separate a choice of required options./Slashes separate possible return values.Form ExamplesEach form shows you the system defaults:s Filled-in buttons are the default selections.s Filled-in values are the default values.1 Overviews About the Waveform Windows Opening the Waveform Windows Using the Iconss Setting the Default Window LocationOverviewAbout the Waveform WindowThese are the main parts of the Waveform Window. .Cursor CoordinatesWindow Zoom Axes Curves Markers Annotation Edit T ools HelpmenusPrompt Mouse Button FunctionsOpening the Waveform WindowThe Analog Artist simulation environment plots waveforms(traces)in the Waveform Window.A Waveform Window opens automatically the first time you uses The Plot command in the Simulation window Results menus The Plot or Erplot command in the Calculators The Plot command in the Results BrowserSubsequent plots appear in the same window.T o open a Waveform Window before you plot results®In the CIW, select Tools – Analog Artist – Waveform.Using the IconsIcons provide the same functions as commands.When you open the Waveform Window from the Simulation window, icons are displayed. To hide them or move them, select Results –Printing/Plotting Options and turn on the Allow Icons checkbox in Waveform Window section of the form.Deletes the selected objects.Moves the selected objects.Undoes the last command.Places or moves crosshair marker A.Places or moves crosshair marker B.Opens the Calculator.Toggles the Axis modebetween strip and composite.Adds a new subwindow.Setting the Default Window LocationY ou can specify the default location of the Waveform Window and the Marching Waveform Window with these Opus X resources:Opus*awvPlotOpus*awvMarchFor exampleOpus*awvPlot:500x500+0+0Opus*awvMarch:400x400-0-0The geometry specification (in pixels) is of the formWIDTHxHEIGHT+/-XOFF+/-YOFFThe HI function hiGetBBoxResource()converts X geometry specifications into bounding boxes.Y ou can also specify the Waveform Window location using the Results – Printing/Plotting Options command.2 Editing Objectss Kinds of Editable Objectss Selecting Objectss Changing Object Propertiess Moving Objectss Deleting Objectss Undoing Editing CommandsKinds of Editable ObjectsY ou can manipulate several kinds of objects in the Waveform Window: markers (cross-hair, vertical, and horizontal), labels, curves, and axes.Not all objects can be edited in the same ways.Selecting ObjectsT o select a curve, a label, or a vertical or horizontal marker®Click on it.T o avoid selecting a curve when you want a vertical or horizontal marker®Make sure the tracking cursor does not snap to a curve.If a marker is always near a curve, you might need to turn cursorsnapping off or enlarge the window.T o select a crosshair marker®Click on the letter A or B.Crosshair markerVertical markerHorizontal marker Waveform nameT o select an axis®Click on its label.Y ou can also click on the axis itself.Click anywhere on the side of the axis away from the curve.For example,click to the left side of the axis if it is on the left side of the curve,or to the right side of the axis if it is on the right side of the curve.Selecting Overlapping ObjectsWhen objects overlap under the cursor, they are selected in this order:1.Cross-hair markers2.Fixed labels3.Waveform-specific labels4.Curves5.Vertical markers6.Horizontal markersIf you have trouble selecting overlapping objectss T ry clicking someplace where they do not overlap.s Check that cursor snapping is not causing you to select a curve when you click on a different type of object.Selecting More than One ObjectSome editing commands let you manipulate several objects at once. Use the Shift and Control keys on the keyboard to select the objects.T o select several objects1.Click on the first object.2.Hold down the Shift key while you click on the other objects.To remove an object from the selected set®Hold down the Control key while you click on the object.To empty the selected set®Click outside the current subwindow.Be careful not to select an object in an area outside the current subwindow by mistake. Selecting from Scrolling List BoxesSeveral Waveform Window forms contain scrolling lists like this one in the Curves form.T o select one item, click on it. In the figure above, Curve 5 is selected.T o select more than one item, hold down the Shift key while you click on the items.T o remove an item from the selected set,hold down the Control key while you click on the item.Note:Y ou use these same key and mouse combinations to select graphics in the Waveform Window.Changing Object PropertiesT o change object properties that control how an object is displayed®Double click to select the object.For example, if you double click on a curve, the Curves form appears.Moving ObjectsY ou can move an object in two different ways:®Use the left mouse button to drag the object to a location.or1.Click Move.2.Click on the object.Y ou cannot move more than one object at a time.3.Click on the new location.For curves, click on a new Y axis in the same subwindow. Y ou can move curves to a different strip in the same subwindow or to a different Y axis in the same strip.Y ou can fine-tune the position of the object using the arrow keys.Y ou cannot move objects to a different subwindow.Note:It is faster to use bindkeys to move crosshair markers.Deleting ObjectsT o select objects and delete them1.Select the first object.2.Hold down the Shift key and click to select additional objects.Y ou cannot select objects in more than one subwindow.To remove an object from the selected set before you delete the set, hold down the Control key while clicking.3.Select Edit – Delete.If no object has been selected before you use this command,the command prompts you to click on the objects to be deleted.In this case,you need to press Esc to terminate item selection.T o delete everything in the current subwindow®Select Edit – Delete All.T o deselect all selected objects®Click outside the subwindow.Undoing Editing CommandsT o cancel the last Edit – Delete command or the Edit – Move command ®Select Edit – Undo.Y ou must use Edit – Undo immediately after Edit – Delete or Edit –Move.。
