FIR Filter Data for Custom Modulation

The following remote command selects user FIR filter data as the active filter for a custom modulation format.

:RADio:CUSTom:FILTer <"file_name">

This command selects the user FIR filter, specified by the file name, as the active filter for the custom modulation format. After selecting the file, activate the TDMA format with the following command:

:RADio:CUSTom:STATe On

FIR Filter Data for CDMA and W-CDMA Modulation

The following remote command selects user FIR filter data as the active filter for a CDMA modulation format. The process is very similar for W- CDMA.

:RADio:<desired format>:ARB:FILTer <"file_name">

This command selects the User FIR filter, specified by the file name, as the active filter for the CDMA or W- CDMA modulation format. After selecting the file, activate the CDMA or W- CDMA format with the following command:

:RADio:<desired format>:ARB:STATe On
