Query Response

"filename"

Description

Specifies the file name, path, and extension of a FlexDCA waveform file that you want to download to an Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) extended module. To actually download the waveform file, use the :EMODules:AWGenerator:WTYPe command with the FILE argument. After downloading the file, use the :EMODules:AWGenerator:STATus query to confirm that the AWG accepted the file and successfully updated.

Default User Folder

User-Data Folders

The default 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.

File names must include a path when using the child :FNAMe command. The :FNAMe command is not affected by a Default Setup or Factory Preset.

Specifying a path using a path substitution string in the filename ensures that the file will be saved in (or loaded from) the standard user-data folder. Failure to use a path substitution string may result either in a file created in an parent folder or a file error.

Requires FlexDCA revision A.06.00 and above.
