Command Descriptions
3-204 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
reg_size specifies the number of registers in the pseudo–random generator. This
is an integer value from 1 to 32.
tap_position specifies the register positions to ‘tap’ for XOR feedback to the
register input. A tap does an XOR operation on the output signal and the specified
register and passes the result to the next–lower tap position or the register input
(register 1), whichever it encounters first. Refer to Shift Register Generator... on
page 3-66 for more information.
Example
"random.wfm" = pn(12, 3, 6, 8)
Rename( )
The rename statement renames the specified file name to a new file name and/or
location on the current drive.
Group
Waveform
Syntax
rename("source_file", "target_file")
Arguments
"source_file" is the complete file name (path, file name and extension) to the file
that you want to rename. 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.
"target_file" is the complete file name (path, file name and extension) to the
location to which you are renaming the source file. The target 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
rename("/test_dir/sine.wfm", "/test_dir/old_sine.wfm")
