WAVEFORM TRANSFER – WAVEFORM SETUP, WFSU

Description

The WAVEFORM_SETUP command specifies the amount of data in a waveform to be

transmitted to the controller. This is defined by the parameters: Sparsing, interval between

data points; Number of Points, total number of points to be transmitted; First Point, the

address of the first data point to be sent; Segment Number, which segment to be sent if the

waveform was acquired in sequence mode.

The WAVEFORM_SETUP? query returns the transfer parameters currently in use.

Command Syntax

WaveForm_SetUp SP,<sparsing>,NP,<number of transferred

points>,FP,<first point>,SN,<segment number>

<sparsing>:= 0 to n where 0 sends all data points

n sends every nth data point

<number of transferred points>:= 0 to n where 0 sends all data points

n sends a maximum of n data points.

<first points>:= 0 to n where 0 sends the first data point

n sends n+1.

<segment number>:= 0 to n where 0 sends all segments

n sends the nth segment.

NOTE: After power-on, all values are set to 0 (i.e., entire waveforms will be transmitted

without sparsing).

Query Syntax

WaveForm_SetUp?

Response Format

WaveForm_SetUp SP,<sparsing>,NP,<number>,FP,<point>,SN,<segment>

Example

The following command specifies that every 3rd data point (SP=3) starting at address 200 (FP=200) in

segment 23 (SN=23) should be transferred:

WFSU SP,3,FP,200,SN,23
