Download Files

To download waveform files to each baseband generator (BB Gen) block in your instrument or to download the dynamic fading scenario files to be used for dynamic fading:

  1. Select the BB Gen blocks or the dynamic fading scenario files to be enabled for file downloading in the Selected column.
     

Play is disabled until all applicable waveform and dynamic fading scenario files are downloaded to the configuration.

 

  1. Click the ClosedStart button at the bottom of the Download panel to begin downloading the files to your instrument. To stop downloading all waveforms, click the Abort button while downloading is in progress.

     

     
  1. Check the status of a file in the Status and Download Status columns. After a waveform file or scenario file has been completely downloaded, the Status displays Up-to-Date and the Download Status column displays Completed. If the file name changes or the file is modified (saved with new data), the Status will change to Out-of-Date.
     

Waveforms must be downloaded to baseband memory after recalling a setting, or executing a preset, or a power cycle. Waveform data is not saved as part of the PXB setting file. 

 

For instructions on creating a dynamic fading scenario file, refer to Using an Excel Spreadsheet Template for Dynamic Fading Setup.
