Command Syntax
[SOURce:]WAVEFORM:DEFine
Description
This command sends a string of 1024 data points that constitute a
single period of an arbitrary waveform. The data is sent as a comma
separated list of <nr2> values. The waveform name to which to apply
the new data values is the first parameter in the list and can be from
1 through 16.
Note:
Data values are scaled based on an RMS value of 1 so for a sine
wave, the max data value is 1.414 and the min data value is -1.414
Parameters
1024 data values separated by commas
Parameter Format
<nr1>,<nr2>, <nr2>,…….,<nr2>
Example
WAVEFORM:DEF 16,0.0000,0.0068,0.0135,0.0203,...,-0.0203,-
0.0135,-0.0068
Query Format
[SOURce:]WAVEFORM:DEFine? <nr1>
Returned Data Format
<nr2>, <nr2>,…….,<nr2>
Query Example
SOURce:WAVEFORM:DEF? 16
0.0000,0.0068,0.0135,0.0203, …. ,-0.0203,-0.0135,-0.0068
Query Format
[SOURce:]WAVEFORM:DEFine:BYALIAS?
Description
This command is similar to the WAVEFORM:DEF? query but instead of
specifying the waveform name as 1 – 16, the waveform alias name is
used to select the waveform. Waveform aliases are passed as a
quoted string. E.g. “Sine”.
Returned Data Format
<nr2>, <nr2>,…….,<nr2>
Query Example
WAVEFORM:DEFine:BYALIAS? "Sine"
0.0000,0.0087,0.0174,0.0260,0.0347,….,-0.0260,-0.0174,-0.0087
Command Syntax
[SOURce:]WAVEFORM:DELete <nr1>
Description
This command deletes a user defined waveform from any location
higher than 1.
Parameters
Waveform number
Parameter Format
<nr1>
Example
WAVEFORM:DEL 16
Query Format
[SOURce:]WAVEFORM:EXIST? <nr1>
Description
This command returns a 1 if the waveform location referenced
contains waveform data or a 0 is the waveform location is empty (No
waveform exists).
Returned Data Format
<nr1>
Query Example
WAVEFORM:EXIST? 34
0
