I Q IxQx… represents binary data (16-bit signed integer in 2's com-
plement notation) containing the I and Q component alternately
and starting with the I component. Each component consists of
two bytes, least significant byte (LSB) first.
The values of the two bytes in an I component and a Q component
are in the range 0x0 to 0xFFFF (-32767 to +32767). This value is
transferred to the D/A converter.
This tag is also used to store multi segment waveforms. The I/Q
streams of the individual waveforms are directly concatenated to
one collectively waveform I/Q stream.
The number of segments and the start offset and length of the
individual segments inside the total waveform I/Q stream is deter-
mined by the additional tags MWV_SEGMENT_COUNT,
MWV_SEGMENT_START and MWV_SEGMENT_LENGTH.
Further MWV_SEGMENT_... tags are also available, i.e. for level
and clock information etc.
Example:
{WAVEFORM-401:#I

}
100 I/Q pairs with 4 bytes each are transmitted - none multi seg-
ment

}
(2 segments: segment 0 with 100 I/Q pairs, segment 1 with 200 I/
Q pairs. Each I/Q pair consist of 2*16 bit = 4 bytes)
The data is transmitted using SCPI command
BB:ARB:WAVE:DATA.
Usage: Setting only
{MWV_SEGMENT_COUNT: NumOfSeg}
(mandatory for multi segment waveforms)
The tag contains the number of segments in the multi segment waveform in ASCII integer
format.
Example:
{MWV_SEGMENT_COUNT: 2}
Multi segment waveform with 2 segments
Usage: Setting only
{MWV_SEGMENT_LENGTH: SamplesSeg0, SamplesSeg1, …, SamplesSegN-1}
(mandatory for multi segment waveforms)
The tag contains a list of I/Q sample lengths for every segment in the multi segment
waveform in ASCII integer format.
