This tab has the following controls and indicators:
Input File Section
File Format
For details on the available file format, see File Format.
N5110 Data With Embedded Marker Bits
This checkbox is only enabled, if the File Format is BIN5110. If checked, the
BIN5110 format with 14-bit data for I and Q and embedded marker bits is used. If
unchecked, the BIN5110 format with 16-bit data for I and Q and no marker bits is
used.
File…
Open a file selection dialog. Default file extensions match the File Format selection.
Successful loading of a waveform updates multiple information fields through the
panel reflecting the waveform settings and a graph of the waveform is shown in the
preview display.
Data Read From Input File Header Section
Sample Rate From File
Indicator only. It shows the input waveform sample rate, if any, contained in the
loaded file. If no sample rate is specified “n.a.” (not available) is shown.
Use As Source Sample Rate
This checkbox assigns the sample rate specified in the file as the Source Sample
Rate used for resampling.
Carrier Frequency From File
Indicator only. It shows the input waveform carrier frequency, if any, contained in
the loaded file. If no carrier frequency is specified “n.a.” (not available) is shown.
Use As Carrier Frequency
This checkbox assigns the carrier frequency specified in the file as the Carrier
Frequency in the target AWG Channel. It only makes sense for up-converter (IQ)
modes.
Data Type
This is the organization of samples within the file. It may be Single (real-only
waveform) or IQ (complex waveforms).
Spectrum Reversed
This checkbox is only active for complex (IQ) waveforms. It results in an imported
signal which is the complex conjugate of the input signal, thus its spectrum will be
reversed. It must be checked to preserve the spectrum shape and the IQ axis
assignment when the M8190A’ DAC is working in Doublet Mode and the desired
signal sits in the second Nyquist band.
