1. Arbitrary waveforms can be defined only via remote. Location 0 is volatile RAM, while locations 1-4 are
NVRAM and will be saved across power cycles.
2. Waveform triggering available in revision level A03 and later firmware. See Section 7 of the Model 6220/
6221 Reference Manual for details on externally triggering waveforms.
