3-188 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
In a waveform expression, the data length of the file created and the clock
information are determined as follows.
If <output–signal–name> is a marker:
If the output file does not already exist, an error will occur. Attributes such as
the data length (output file size) and clock information are unchanged. The
analog data section does not change. Neither the size or the close variable value
is used. If the waveform expression includes a <signal–name>, then a file
shorter than the output file would cause an error. If the input file is longer in
this case, the data around the tail will not be used.
If <output–signal–name> is analog data:
A new file is always created without using the output file. Since the same file
name may be specified for the input, the new file is tentatively created under
another file name; then renamed.
All output file marker values will be 0. The output file data length and clock
information will be as indicated on the screen.
If the waveform expression includes one or more <signal–name>s:
The output waveform length will equal to that of the shortest waveforms
included in the <waveform–expression>. The clock information will match the
one appearing first (that is, the one coded at the leftmost) out of those used in
the waveform expression.
If the waveform expression includes no <signal–name>:
The output waveform length depends on the size variable value. The clock
value depends on the clock variable value.
