{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:

These commands apply to individual AWG channel outputs:

Requires FlexDCA revision A.06.00 and above.
