Arbitrary Waveform Commands

DATA:DELete <arb name>

Delete the specified arbitrary waveform from memory. You can delete

the waveform in volatile memory or any of the four user-defined

waveforms in non-volatile memory.

• You cannot delete the arbitrary waveform that is currently being

output. If you attempt to delete this waveform, a “Not able to delete

the currently selected active arb waveform” error is generated.

• You cannot delete any of the five built-in arbitrary waveforms. If you

attempt to delete one of these waveforms, a “Not able to delete a built-

in arb waveform” error is generated.

•Use the DATA:DEL:ALL command to delete the waveform in volatile

memory and all user-defined non-volatile waveforms all at once.

If one of the waveforms is currently being output, a “Not able to

delete the currently selected active arb waveform” error is generated.

DATA:DELete:ALL

Delete all user-defined arbitrary waveforms from memory. This command

deletes the waveform in volatile memory and all user-defined waveforms

in non-volatile memory. The five built-in waveforms in non-volatile

memory

are not

deleted.

• The colon before the ALL parameter is required (DATA:DELete:ALL).

If you insert a space instead of a colon, the function generator will

attempt to delete an arbitrary waveform with the name “ALL”. If no

such waveform is stored in memory, a “Specified arb waveform does

not exist” error is generated.

•Use the DATA:DEL <arb name> command to delete stored waveforms

one at a time.
