File Management
The AWG500-Series Waveform Generator uses numerous file formats to hold
different types of data. These file types are listed in Table 2–6. Note that the
instrument checks the file format when reading and processes the file based on
its content, regardless of the file extension.
Table 2-6: AWG500ĆSeries Waveform Generator file types
Extensions Files Description
.WFM Waveform file Contains waveform data. All signal data must be in
waveform format before it can be output. Created with the
waveform editor, by compiling an equation file, or when
importing waveforms from external equipment.
.PAT Pattern file Contains digital pattern data. Created with the pattern editor.
.SEQ Sequence file Contains waveform sequence and trigger data. Created with
the sequence editor.
.EQU Equation file Contains equations that describe a waveform. Created with
the equation/text editor.
.TXT Text file Contains ASCII text. Created with the equation/text editor.
.SET Setup file Contains instrument setup and configuration data. Created
from the SETUP menu.
There are three locations for storing waveform data on the AWG500-Series
Waveform Generator: the instrument hard disk drive, the instrument floppy disk
drive, or a remote storage device accessible through the Ethernet interface. If the
file you want to load is not on the current drive, use the EDIT main screen Drive
