There are two commands that download a file for no extraction:

•:MEM:DATA <"file_name">,<blockdata>

•:MMEM:DATA <"filename">,<blockdata>

The following table uses the first command to illustrate the command format, however the format is the same if you use the second command.

Modifying PRAM Files

The only way to change PRAM file data is to modify the original file on a computer and download it again. The signal generator does not support viewing and editing PRAM file contents. Because the signal generator translates the data bit into a 32- bit word, the file contents are not recognizable, and therefore not editable using a hex editor program, as shown in the following figure.
