TRANSFERING WAVEFORM DATA TO THE 408XAWG
RS232 communication setup
1) Connect the computer to the 4084AWG or 4086AWG using the RS232 cable included.
2) Set the RS232 parameters of the Arbitrary Waveform Creation Tool
3) Set the RS232 parameters in the Systems menu of the 4080 series generator. Make sure the
“COM port”, “Baud rate” and “parity” and Flow control parameters match that of the Software
settings.
Select a memory location
Models 4084AWG and 4086AWG offer 8 memory locations for storing user defined arbitrary
waveforms. Numbers 1 – 8 in the waveform number field of the software correspond to “ARB1” –
“ARB8” on the instrument side which are located at positions 28 to 35 on the Arblist (see chapter 4,
section 3).
