:EMODules:AWGenerator:WTYPe
Command Syntax
:EMODules:AWGenerator{1:8}:WTYPe {DATA | FILE}
Where {1:8} identifies slot number {1:8} which is associated with an AWG extended module.
Query Syntax
:EMODules:AWGenerator{1:8}:WTYPe?
Query Response
{DATA | FILE}
Description
Selects the method used for creating the waveform on the Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) extended module. If automatic AWG updating (:EMODules:AWGenerator:AUPDate
) is turned on settings or waveform file are immediately sent to the AWG. Otherwise, use the :EMODules:AWGenerator:SEND
command.
Use the FILE
argument when downloading a FlexDCA waveform to the AWG. To specify the actual waveform file to download, use the :EMODules:AWGenerator:FNAMe
command. After downloading the file, use the :EMODules:AWGenerator:STATus
query to confirm that the AWG accepted the file and successfully updated.
Use the DATA
argument to have the AWG create the waveform by settings that you define using the following commands. Note that many of the commands are located in the :SOURce
subsystem. These commands apply to all AWG channel outputs:
:EMODules:AWGenerator:FORMat
(NRZ or PAM4):EMODules:AWGenerator:SRATe
(Symbol Rate):EMODules:AWGenerator:PATTern
(Specific pattern):EMODules:AWGenerator:PLENgth
(Pattern length):EMODules:AWGenerator:CDIVide
(Clock Divide Ratio)
These commands apply to individual AWG channel outputs:
:SOURce:WTYPe
(Data or Clock Waveform):SOURce:AMPLitude
(Waveform Amplitude):SOURce:OFFSet
(Waveform Offset):SOURce:SKEW
(Waveform Skew):SOURce:FILTer:TYPE
(Filter Type):SOURce:FILTer:CUToff
(Filter BW):SOURce:FILTer:STATe
(Turns Filter On/Off):SOURce:INVert
(Inverts the waveform
Requires FlexDCA revision A.06.00 and above.
