Custom Digital Modulation (Option 431)
Creating and Using Bit Files
Creating and Using Bit Files
This procedure teaches you how to use the Bit File Editor to create, edit, and store user- defined
files for data transmission within real time I/Q baseband generated modulation. For this example, a
user file is defined within a custom digital communications format.
User files (user-defined data files) can be created on a remote computer and moved to the signal
generator for subsequent modification, or they can be created and modified using the signal
generator’s Bit File Editor.
These user files can then be transmitted data as a continuous unframed data stream according to the
protocol of the active format, transmitted as the data for a custom ARB modulation or real- time
format. User files are not available for signals generated by the dual ARB waveform generator.
NOTE For information on creating user- defined data files on a remote computer, see the Agilent
Signal Generators Programming Guide.
