Selecting AWG Channels
When sending a :SOURce subsystem command to an AWG, the method used to specify the AWG's channel may look confusing at first glance. This is because, the AWG's front-panel channels are labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4, but FlexDCA identifies channels with letters (A, B, C, or D). As a result, you must convert the AWG's channel number to an equivalent FlexDCA letter. For example, to enable channel 3 of an AWG that is installed in FlexDCA's slot 5 use the following command: :SOURce5C:OENable ON.
