Creating and Downloading Waveform Files
Commands for Downloading and Extracting Waveform Data
1. From the PC command prompt or UNIX command line, change to the
destination directory for the file you intend to download.
2. From the PC command prompt or UNIX command line, type ftp
<instrument name>. Where instrument name is the signal
generator’s hostname or IP address.
3. At the User: prompt in the ftp window, press Enter (no entry is required).
4. At the Password: prompt in the ftp window, press Enter (no entry is
required).
5. At the ftp prompt, either put a file or get a file:
To put a file, type:
put <file_name> /user/waveform/<file_name1>
where <file_name> is the name of the file to download and
<file_name1> is the name designator for the signal generator’s
/user/waveform/ directory.
If <filename1> is unspecified, ftp uses the specified <file_name> to
name <file_name1>.
— If a marker file is associated with the data file, use the following
command to download it to the signal generator:
put <marker file_name> /user/markers/<file_name1>
where <marker file_name> is the name of the file to download and
<file_name1> is the name designator for the file in the signal
generator’s /user/markers/ directory. Marker files and the
associated I/Q waveform data have the same name.
For more examples of put command usage refer to Table 5-11.
If a filename has a space, quotations are required around the filename.
Always transfer the waveform file before transferring the marker file.
For additional information on FTP commands, refer to the operating
system’s Window Help and Support Center.
