11.4 Transfer Arbitrary Wave Data
11-5
<4> Transfer
When the Transfer button is clicked, the arbitrary wave data will be transferred to the
device.
<5> Cancel
When the Cancel button is clicked, the operation is cancelled and the [Transfar arbitrary
wave data] dialog box closes.
The following types of arbitrary waveform files can be read:
 Plain text file (extension: “.txt”)
Range of data: 16384 to 16383
Contents of file: One data entry (no comma, left-justified) per line
<Example> 16384
1000
2
10



 Text file that was output with “ARB Arbitrary Waveform Editor”
(extension:
“.txt”)
 2’s complement binary files (extension: “.arb”)
Range of data: 16384 to 16383
Contents of file: 4,096 words must be saved with big endian
<Example> 0, 1000, 1500, 2000, … , -3000
In the above example, the data is organized in the following order from
the top of the file.
0x00, 0x00, 0x03, 0xE8, 0x07, 0xd0, …, 0xF4, 0x48
 Binary file that was output with ARB Arbitrary Waveform Editor
(extension:
“.wdb”)
 The arbitrary waveform size of the APS-1102 Programmable AC/DC Power Source is 4,096 words
(1 word = 16 bits).
 The number of arbitrary waveform data units within an arbitrary waveform file must always be
4,096 words. If it is insufficient, an error message will appear.
4,096 lines are required.
