Creating and Downloading Waveform Files
Commands for Downloading and Extracting Waveform Data
To get a file, type:
get /user/waveform/<file_name1> <file_name>
where <file_name1> is the file to download from the signal generator’s /user/waveform/
directory and <file_name> is the name designator for the local PC/UNIX.
• If a marker file is associated with the data file, use the following command to download it to
the local PC/UNIX directory:
get /user/markers/<file_name1> <marker file_name>
where <marker file_name1> is the name of the marker file to download from the signal
generator’s /user/markers/ directory and <marker file_name> is the name of the file to be
downloaded to the local PC/UNIX.
For more examples of get command usage refer to Table 5- 14.
