Command Descriptions
3-194 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
Delete( )
The delete() statement deletes the specified file name from the current drive.
Group
Waveform
Syntax
delete("filename")\
Arguments
"filename" is the complete file name (path, file name and extension) to the file
that you want to delete. The file must be located on the active drive. The argument
can include a relative or absolute path name. Enclose the file name within double
quotation marks.
Example
delete("/test_dir/wvfrms/sine2x.wfm")
Diff( )
The diff() statement performs a differentiation operation on a specified file. The
output file retains all marker values of the input file. Refer to Differentiation on
page F-1 for information about the differentiation algorithm.
Group
Waveform
Syntax
"output_filename" = diff("filename")
Arguments
"output_filename" is the complete file name (file name and extension) to
contain the resultant waveform. The argument can include a relative or absolute
path name. Enclose the file name within double quotation marks.
"filename" is the complete (file name and extension) name of the file on which
you are performing the differentiation operation. The file must be on the active
drive. The argument can include a relative or absolute path name. Enclose the file
name within double quotation marks.
Example
"diffwave.wfm" = diff("log_swp.wfm")
