ARB Waveform Data Downloads
Chapter 4 153
Downloads to Waveform Memory
NOTE Before downloading files into waveform memory, turn off the ARB by pressing
Mode > Dual ARB > ARB Off On until Off is highlighted or send the SCPI
command [:SOURce]:RADio:ARB[:STATe] OFF
MMEM:DATA "WFM1:<file_name>",#ABC for the waveform data file.
MMEM:DATA “MKR1:<file_name>”,#ABC for the markers file.
The full directory path name can be specified in the command line. The following SCPI
commands are equivalent to the previous commands:
MMEM:DATA “/USER/BBG1/WAVEFORM/<file_name>”,#ABC for the waveform data file.
MMEM:DATA “/USER/BBG1/MARKERS/<file_name>”,#ABC for the markers file.
Downloads to NVWFM Memory:
To download files to NVWFM (non-volatile memory), using the GPIB or the LAN interface,
use the following SCPI commands:
MMEM:DATA “NVWFM:<file_name>”,#ABC for the waveform file.
MMEM:DATA “NVMKR:<file_name>”,#ABC for the markers file.
The full directory path name can be specified in the command line. The following SCPI
commands are equivalent to the previous commands:
MMEM:DATA “/USER/WAVEFORM/<file_name>”,#ABC for the waveform file.
MMEM:DATA “/USER/MARKERS/<file_name>”,#ABC for the markers file.
Downloads Using FTP To download files to NVWFM memory (non-volatile memory),
using the file transfer protocol (FTP) over the LAN interface, perform the following steps.
1. From the PC Command Prompt, or Unix command line, change the directory to the
directory where the file to be downloaded is located.
2. From the PC Command Prompt or Unix command line type ftp instrument name. Where
instrument name is the hostname for the signal generator or the signal generator’s IP
address.
3. At the User: prompt, in the ftp window, press the Enter key (no entry is required).
4. At the Password: prompt, in the ftp window, press the Enter key (no entry is required).
5. At the ftp prompt type:
put <file_name> /USER/WAVEFORM/<file_name_1>
where <file_name> is the name of the file to download and <file_name_1> the name
designator for the signal generator’s /USER/WAVEFORM/ directory.
