B.1.13 Waveform Command “w”:
@AA.a
Sync character (@) and unit address, AA = Unit ID (0 to 99; 0 is a global ID), a = N/A
(all waveforms are stored in a central database, not specific to any particular channel).
W1
Command character and Type – 0=read, 1=set, 2=activate (n/a), 3=ack, 4=nak
#11,
Number of fields character and number of fields after the comma, excluding CRC.
1, or
1:Name,
Waveform index (1 to 10)
:Name is optional. Name waveform one as “Sine2” like this…”1:Sine2,”. See notes 10
and 11.
