same three bytes of data, further demonstrates how the signal generator
displays the data when only two bits of the last byte are part of the bits of
interest.
Notice that the bit file editor shows only two bytes and one nibble. In addition,
the signal generator shows the nibble as hex value 4 instead of 7 (78 is byte 3—
ASCII character x in the SCPI command line). This is because the signal
generator sees bits 17 and 18, and assumes bits 19 and 20 are 00. As viewed
by the signal generator, this makes the nibble 0100. Even though the signal
generator extrapolates bits 19 and 20 to complete the nibble, it ignores these
bits along with bits 21 through 24. As seen with the hex editor program, the
signal generator does not actually change the three bytes of data in the
downloaded file.
