Waveform Memory Format
This section describes the formats of the commands which enter data into the wave memory of a
TEGAM arbitrary waveform generator via the GPIB or RS-232 interface.

The contents of the waveform memory for wave X(X=0..99) are changed by a single command format-
ted according to the IEEE 488.2-1987 standard, and has the following syntax:
<command header><start address>,<data>[,<data>...];
As a command for the GPIB or RS-232, a <command header>, followed by the address of the first
memory cell to be set, followed by one or more <data> items are separated by commas, with a space or
tab separating the <command header> from the <start address> item. The numbers specified by the
<data> items are stored in successive addresses of the wave memory.
The <command header> is a string, whose value depends only on the wave to be set:
Wave
Command Header Value
0
WVFM:WAVE 0;MEM
1
WVFM:WAVE 1;MEM
99
WVFM:WAVE 99;MEM
The <start address> is a decimal number between 0 and 65471. It sets the starting address where the
<data> will be downloaded in waveform memory. The <data> items are decimal numbers between
-32768 and 32767. If the AMPL (Amplitude) parameter is set to 10V, the following data: -32768, 0,
32767 would produce -10 Volts, 0 Volts, and 10 Volts, respectively, on the output.
Examples:
An 8 point positive Ramp down loaded into wave 1, address 0.
WVFM:WAVE 1;MEM 0,0,4681,9362,14043,18724,23405,28086,32767
An 8 point sine wave down loaded into wave 2, address 48.
WVFM:WAVE 2;MEM 48,0,23169,32767,23169,0,-23170,-32768,-23170
