Creating a User–Defined FIR Filter Using the FIR Table Editor
In this procedure, you use the FIR Values table editor to create and store an 8–symbol, windowed
sync function filter with an oversample ratio of 4.
Accessing the Table Editor
1. Press Preset.
2. Press Mode > ARB Custom Modulation > Single Carrier Setup > Select > Nyquist.
3. Press Filter > Define User FIR.
4. Press More 1 of 2 > Delete All Rows > Confirm Delete of All Rows.
This will initialize the table editor as shown in Figure 11-13.
