4.5.2 Arbitrary Waveform Commands
Introduction
Download the waveform points into volatile memory. You can download
from 1 point (a dc signal) to Sample
max
points per waveform.
81150A: Sample
max
= 524288 (512 k)
81160A 1 channel: Sample
max
= 262144 (256 k)
81160A 2 channels: Sample
max
= 131072 (128 k)
You can download the points as floating-point values, binary integer values,
or decimal integer values. Use the DATA command to download floating-
point values from -1.0 to +1.0. Use the DATA:DAC command to download
binary integer or decimal integer values from -8191 to +8191. To ensure that
binary data is downloaded properly, you must select the order in which the
bytes are downloaded using the FORM:BORD command.
The names of the built-in arb waveforms are: EXP_RISE, EXP_FALL,
HAVERSINE, SINC, GAUSSIAN, CARDIAC, and NEG_RAMP.
The <arb name> may contain up to 12 characters. The first character must
be a letter (A-Z), but the remaining characters can be numbers (0-9) or the
underscore character (“ _ ”). Blank spaces are not allowed. If you specify a
name with more than 12 characters, a “Program mnemonic too long” error
is generated.
