WAVEFORM_SETUP, WFSU
Description
The WAVEFORM_SETUP command specifies the amount of data in a waveform to be transmitted to the
controller.
The WAVEFORM_SETUP? query returns the transfer parameters currently in use.
Command Syntax
WAVEFORM_SETUP SP,<sparsing>,NP,<number>,FP,<first point>,SN,<segment>
Note: After power-on, all values are set to 0 (meaning, entire waveforms are transmitted without
sparsing). Parameters are grouped in pairs. The first of the pair names which variable is modified,
while the second provides the new value for assignment. Pairs can be given in any order and
restricted to the variables for change.
Sparsing (SP)
The sparsing parameter defines the interval between data points. For example:
SP = 0 sends all data points.
SP = 1 sends all data points.
SP = 4 sends every 4th data point.
Number of Points (NP)
The number of points parameter indicates how many points should be transmitted. For example:
NP = 0 sends all data points.
NP = 1 sends 1 data point.
NP = 50 sends a maximum of 50 data points.
NP = 1001 sends a maximum of 1001 data points.
First Point (FP)
The first point parameter specifies the address of the first data point to be sent. For waveforms acquired
in sequence mode, this refers to the relative address in the given segment. For example:
FP = 0 corresponds to the first data point.
FP = 1 corresponds to the second data point.
FP = 5000 corresponds to data point 5001.
