:SOURce:FNAMe
Command Syntax
:SOURceN:FNAMe <filename>
<filename> is a string. This command supports the DEFault common child command.
Where N identifies a simulated instrument's specific channel in the form "<connection1-8>_<ch1-8>" (for example, SOURce4_2). With connection 1, the connection number part (that is, "1_") is optional, and you can simply use the channel number "<ch1-8>" (for example, SOURce3 which is the same as SOURce1_3).
Query Syntax
:SOURceN:FNAMe?
Description
For simulated instruments, loads a waveform file (.h5) to define the waveform. To apply the pattern to the source waveform, use the :SOURce:WTYPe command.
Default User and Demo Folders
The default user data folder for storing waveform files is in %USER_DATA_DIR%\Waveforms as shown in this picture. It is good practice to include a path substitution string with the filename. For example, %USER_DATA_DIR%\Waveforms\filename.
The default demo folders for loading waveform files is in %DEMO_DIR%\Waveforms as shown in the following picture. It is good practice to include a path substitution string with the subfolders and filename. For example, %DEMO_DIR%\Waveforms\filename.
Including a path substitution string in the filename ensures that the file will be saved in (or loaded from) the desired folder. Failure to do so may result either in a file created in an parent folder or a file error. Do not append a filename extension as the extension is automatically added.
