Creating and Downloading Waveform Files
Loading, Playing, and Verifying a Downloaded Waveform
Verifying the Waveform
Perform this procedure after completing the steps in the previous procedure,
“Playing the Waveform” on page 247.
1. Connect the signal generator to an oscilloscope as shown in the figure.
2. Set an active marker point on the first waveform point for marker one.
Send the following SCPI commands:
:SOURce:RADio:ARB:MARKer:CLEar:ALL "WFM1:<file_name>",1
:SOURce:RADio:ARB:MARKer:SET "WFM1:<file_name>",1,1,1,0.
3. Compare the oscilloscope display to the plot of the I and Q data from the
text file you created when you generated the data.
If the oscilloscope display, and the I and Q data plots differ, recheck your
code. For detailed information on programmatically creating and
downloading waveform data, see “Creating Waveform Data” on page 235
and “Downloading Waveform Data” on page 241. For information on the
waveform data requirements, see “Waveform Data Requirements” on
page 205.
Building and Playing Waveform Sequences
The signal generator can be used to build waveform sequences. This section
assumes you have created the waveform segment file(s) and have the
waveform segment file(s) in volatile memory. The following SCPI commands
can be used to generate and work with a waveform sequence. For more
information refer to the signal generator’s SCPI Command Reference and
User’s Guide.
Select the same waveform selected in “Playing the Waveform” on page
247.
If you would like to verify the waveform sequence, refer to “Verifying the
Waveform” on page 248.
