Volatile and Non–Volatile Memory (N5162A/82A)
Volatile Memory and Non–Volatile Memory (E4438C and E8267D Only)
NOTE When considering volatile memory, it is not necessary to keep track of marker data, as this
memory is consumed automatically and proportionally to the I/Q data created (i.e. 1 marker
byte for every 4 bytes of I/Q data).
On the E4438C and E8267D, the fixed file system overhead on the signal generator is used to store
directory information. When calculating the available volatile memory for waveform files it is
important to consider the fixed file system overhead for the volatile memory of your signal generator.

On the N5162A/82A, 512 bytes is reserved for each waveform’s header file (i.e. The largest waveform that could
be played with a N5162A/82A with Option 019 (320 MB) is: 320 MB – 512 bytes = 319,999,488 MB.)

The expression [16 + [44 x MaxNumFiles]) has been rounded up to nearest memory block (1024 bytes). (To find the I/Q waveform sample
size, this resulting value needs to be divided by 4.)
