Downloading and Using Files
Understanding ARB Waveform File Composition and Encryption
Extracting waveform files from the PSG for use in other PSGs
Waveform files can only be extracted from the SECUREWAVE directory. The SECUREWAVE directory is
not an actual directory, but behaves more like a portal through which waveform data is packaged with header
and marker data, and encrypted during file extraction. You can use either FTP or SCPI commands to extract
the waveform file from the PSG to your computer. Table 4-2 shows the command syntax options for both
methods.
Downloading encrypted waveform files to the PSG
To download an encrypted file to the PSG, you must ensure that the file is loaded into the PSG’s
SECUREWAVE directory, where the file is decrypted and unpackaged into its header information,
waveform data, and marker data. You can use either FTP or SCPI commands to download encrypted
waveform files to the PSG. Table 4-3 shows the command syntax options for both methods.
