3-210 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
The write command writes the specified text to the specified file. If the file being
written to exists, the write command appends the specified string to the end of the
file. The first argument is the file to which the strings specified as the second
argument and after will be written. The string must be enclosed in double quotation
marks. If you desire to use a variable as a string, you must place the colon (:) before
and after the variable. For example:
"text":i:".wfm"
In the above example, if the variable i is currently 5, the value of the string will be
text5.wfm. The slash is used as an escape character, and precedes the double
quotation marks in a string. The ‘\n’ inserts an end of line (EOL) character in the
file.
The sequence file is a text file which has the number 3002 on the first line of the
text and the number of lines (for example LINES 4) on the second line.
Figure 3-65 shows the four waveforms generated by example 3. Figure 3-66 shows
the sequence table created by example 3.
