Creating and Downloading Waveform Files
Waveform Memory
Waveform Memory
The signal generator provides two types of memory, volatile and non- volatile. You can download files
to either memory type.
Volatile Random access memory that does not survive cycling of the signal generator
power. This memory is commonly referred to as waveform memory (WFM1) or
waveform playback memory. To play back waveforms, they must reside in volatile
memory. The following file types share this memory:
Non- volatile Storage memory where files survive cycling the signal generator power. Files
remain until overwritten or deleted. To play back waveforms after cycling the
signal generator power, you must load waveforms from non- volatile waveform
memory (NVWFM) to volatile waveform memory (WFM1). On the Agilent MXG the
non- volatile memory is referred to as internal media and external media. The
following file types share this memory:
