AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual

File Conversion
The Waveform Generator has the ability to import and export various formats of
waveform data. Import converts waveform files created with other instruments
into files the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator can use. Export converts
AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator waveform files into text files.
Each AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator waveform file contains the clock
rate information, waveform data, and marker information. Import uses default
values for the information unavailable through the external file.
Import
The following files can be converted into AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform
Generator compatible waveform files (.wfm files):
H AWG20xx.WFM to Waveform
An AWG2000 Series .wfm file is converted into an AWG610 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator waveform file. The marker data and clock rates are
inherited.
H AWG20xx.WFM to Pattern
An AWG2000 Series .wfm file is converted into an AWG610 Arbitrary
Waveform Generator pattern file. The marker data and clock rates are
inherited.
Note that the upper 8 bits in the AWG2021 or AWG2005 waveform file are
converted into the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator waveform file. The
lower four bits are neglected. In the AWG2041 waveform file, 8-bit data is
imported with no convention into the data bits: Data 0 to Data 7 in the AWG610
Arbitrary Waveform Generator pattern file.
H TDS.WFM to Waveform
A waveform file generated with a Tektronix TDS-Series oscilloscope is
converted into an AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator waveform file.
The clock rate and position information are inherited. The offset information
is neglected in this conversion.
H EASYWAVE.WAV to Waveform
A data file (.wav) generated with LeCroy EASYWAVE software is converted
into the AWG610 Arbitrary Waveform Generator waveform file. No
attributes are inherited.
