Generate Output
To generate output:
1. Select Generate > Output Device > Keysight M9381A VSG to select the output
device.
2. Select the Current Output Device Settings window and change the device
settings to the following (leave all other parameters at their default values):
a. Instrument Address: <VISA string from Agilent IO Libraries>
b. Frequency: 1.5 GHz
c. Amplitude: 0 dBm
d. RF On: True
3. Click the Generate and Output button in the tool bar to send the created
waveform to M9381A VSG.
If you have no M9381A hardware installed (and therefore have no
address to enter), you can still explore the software functionality by
changing the M9381A output device setting Output To to
Output to
Simulated HW
. In this mode, Settings changes and waveform
downloads will appear to work, but the changes and data are simply
discarded by the M9381A driver. For more details on M9381A Output
plug-in settings, refer to the User's Guide.
Data File Write
Waveform Creator allows you to save the output waveform to a file in either of the
following formats:
CSV (comma separated)
N5110A waveform (*.bin)
MATLAB® Level 5 MAT-File
M8190A DUC IQBIN File
To download waveform to a file:
1. Select Generate > Output Device > *File (csv, binary or matlab).
2. Set the parameter values.
3. Click the Generate and Output button in the tool bar to save the output to a file
on the host computer.
For file data, the maximum sample rate is not limited by hardware, so for internal
coding purposes a nominal limit of 5 GHz is set. Within this limit, the auto sample rate
algorithm chooses the most appropriate sample rate for the generated waveform. If a
higher sample rate is needed, then this nominal limit can be over-ruled by using the
manual sample rate setting.
