File management
| This section provides an overview of the file operations for performing file | |
| management tasks. |
|
Name and location | File Type Suffixes. The AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator uses numerous | |
| file formats to hold different types of data. These file types are listed in | |
| Table 2±8. Note that the instrument checks the file format and processes the file | |
| based on its content regardless of the file suffix. | |
| Table | |
|
|
|
| File type | Description |
|
|
|
| Waveform file | Uses the .wfm or .WFM file suffix. Contains waveform data. |
|
| All signal data must be in waveform format before it can be |
|
| output. Created with the waveform editor, by compiling an |
|
| equation file, or when importing waveforms from external |
|
| equipment, and created waveform data by application. |
|
|
|
| Pattern file | Uses the .pat or .PAT file suffix. Contains pattern data. |
|
| Created with the pattern editor. |
|
|
|
| Sequence file | Uses the .seq or .SEQ file suffix. Contains waveform |
|
| sequence and trigger data. Created with the sequence |
|
| editor. |
|
|
|
| Equation file | Uses the .equ or .EQU file suffix. Contains equations that |
|
| describe a waveform. Created with the equation/text editor. |
