T3AWG3K-C Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator

True-Arb Operating Mode

Generate a .txt file with the waveform samples; fill the .txt file with all arbitrary samples

paying attention to data format (see analog/digital data format chapters for more
details).

Transfer the .txt file from client PC to mass storage memory of the instrument (see

MMEMory:DATA command and Block Data Format chapter for more details about this
operation).

Import the .txt file in waveform list (see WLISt:WAVeform:IMPort command which also

allows you to choose an appropriate name for the new imported waveform, i.e.

“Wave_name”) .

Insert

“Wave_name” waveform in the first entry of sequencer and on the desired channel

(see SEQuence:ELEM[n]:WAVeform[m] command).

Set the desired running mode (AWGControl:RMODe) and output parameters.

Enable the outputs (OUTPut[n][:STATe] or DIGitals:STATe).

Send a start command (AWGControl:RUN).
