{<destination arb name> [,VOLATILE]}
Copy the waveform from volatile memory to the specified name in non-
volatile memory. The source for the copy is always VOLATILE. You cannot
copy from any other source and you cannot copy to VOLATILE. 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.
The VOLATILE parameter is optional and can be omitted.
The keyword VOLATILE does not have a short form. The following built-in
waveform names are reserved and cannot be used with the DATA:COPY
command: EXP_RISE, EXP_FALL, HAVERSINE, SINC, GAUSSIAN,
CARDIAC and NEG_RAMP. If you specify one of the built-in waveforms, a
“Cannot overwrite a built-in waveform” error is generated.
The instrument does not distinguish between upper- and lower-case letters.
Therefore, ARB_1 and arb_1 are the same name. All characters are
converted to upper case.
