Waveform Type

Specifies the waveform file type.

SCPI Command

State Saved

Yes

Choices

Signal Studio Waveform (.wfm) | CSV (.dat, .csv, .txt) | Keysight 16 Bits (.bin, .wiq) | MATLAB Variable (.mat) | WVFile | Little Endian Real32 Binary (.binf)

Couplings

CSV (.dat, .csv, .txt) provides additional settings for choosing between Decimal and Hexadecimal values and enabling Swap IQ.

Keysight 16 Bits (.bin) format is interleaved I/Q samples (I0, Q0, I1, Q1, …) in 16-bit signed integers, it provides the additional setting of choosing between Big Endian and Little Endian.

SCPI Command

[:SOURce]:RADio:AWU:WAVeform:CCARrier<carrier>:SEGMent<channel>:FILE

[:SOURce]:RADio:AWU:WAVeform:CCARrier<carrier>:SEGMent<channel>:FILE?

SCPI Example

 

Notes

After this SCPI is sent, the following SCPI should be sent to get correct file information before the generate and download operation.

[:SOURce]:RADio:AWU:WAVeform:CCARrier<carrier>:SEGMent<channel>:UPDate:FILE:INFO

See Update File Info.

Couplings

When selecting .wfm file, Sample Rate and Number of Samples are read out and displayed on GUI.

When selecting other waveform types, only Number of Samples is read out and displayed and correct sample rate should be set to playback waveform correctly.

License info is read out and used when exporting to local disk.

RuntimeScaling, MarkerRoutingAlcHold and MarkerRoutingPulse of waveform are read out and used as the default settings of hardware.

IQ Variable Name

This setting is applicable when MATLAB is selected as the Waveform Type. The I/Q variable should be a 1-d complex array from a .mat file.

[:SOURce]:RADio:AWU:WAVeform:CCARrier<carrier>:SEGMent<channel>:SRATe?

SCPI Example

 

Couplings

When a new. wfm file is selected, the sample rate will be read out from waveform header and assigned to this setting. When selecting other waveform types, a sample rate should be set to playback the waveform correctly.
