2.3
Analog data format (.txt file only)
The analog waveform can be imported into the instrument using a .txt file. For analog
waveform you have to create a single column of values (signed integer or signed decimal,
the header is not allowed) separated with ‘new line’.
These values are imported into the
instrument normalized
so that the user can easily adjust waveform’s amplitude/offset using the
corresponding
SCPI
commands
(see
SEQuence:ELEM[n]:AMPlitude[m],
SEQuence:ELEM[n]:OFFset[m]
or
SEQuence:ELEM[n]:VOLTage:HIGH[m],
SEQuence:ELEM[n]:VOLTage:LOW[m] commands).
2.4
Digital Data format (.txt file only)
For digital waveform you have to create a single column of values (unsigned integer range
[0..(

32
-
1)], the header is not allowed) separated with ‘new line’.
In this way each value
converted into 32-bits binary format represents the status of the corresponding digital line (Bit
0 -> Digital Line 0, Bit 1 -
> Digital Line 1, …, Bit 31
-> Digital Line 31).

If the configuration of the instrument implies that some pods are not present or enabled the
corresponding bits are meaningless.
