Introduction
Computer generated data can be downloaded into your signal generator. Depending on the
options present, the signal generator will accept ARB waveform data, user file data, FIR filter
coefficient data, and data downloads directly to waveform memory. This section explains the
different download methods, and the data formatting required for each method.
This chapter is divided by data transfer method. In addition, there is a section providing
troubleshooting information:
