File Conversion
3-220 AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator User Manual
TDS.ISF to Waveform
A waveform file generated with a Tektronix TDS3000 series oscilloscope
Internal File Format is converted into an AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary
Waveform Generator waveform file. The clock rate and position information
are inherited. The offset information is neglected in this conversion.
EASYWAVE.WAV to Waveform
A data file (.wav) generated with LeCroy EASYWAVE software is converted
into the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator waveform file.
No attributes are inherited.
Text file to Waveform
An ASCII–form text file is converted into the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary
Waveform Generator waveform file. Numeric values separated by separators
are loaded. Headers or similar codes are not defined. The separator can be a
space, comma, tab, or <CR><LF>.
An exponential notation (for example, -.1E–2) may be used as a numeric value.
A unit prefix (for example, m, u, n, p, k, M) may not be used. If you use a
numeric value followed by an alphabetical character (such as, 1.2 V), the value
will be interpreted properly, ignoring the alphabetical character.
If you use a sequence of consecutive separators, it will be interpreted as a
single separator.
Therefore, the meaning of the following line:
1,2,3,4<CR> <LF>
is the same as:
1 , 2, , 3,,, 4 ,,, <CR> <LF>
If an alphabetical character (such as A, B, C, and/or D) is placed instead of a
numeric value, the value 0 will result. (This is not handled as an error.)
The actual input file formats are as follows:
Format 1: Numeric values that are listed horizontally
0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4
The respective values are converted into the analog data. The marker value is
converted into 0.
