6 - 22THE CPL PROTOCOL

PROGRAM WAVEFORM

PW

Purpose:

To send a waveform to the oscilloscope. This function is referred to as to Program a complete Waveform in the oscilloscope.

A waveform is sent (programmed) in two command sequences. The first sequence selects the waveform register number, programs the waveform administration data, and programs the number of samples. The second sequence programs the samples, including a checksum. Each sequence is synchronized by an acknowledge response.

You can use the PW command to send the data received with the QW command back to the oscilloscope.

Note: The number of data bits of the RS-232 interface must be 8 (not 7), otherwise, an execution error will occur.
