Creating and Downloading Waveform Files
Understanding Waveform Data
NOTE The signal generator can accept separate I and Q files created for the earlier E443xB ESG
models. For more information on downloading E443xB files, see
“Downloading E443xB Signal
Generator Files” on page 228 .
The following figure illustrates interleaving I and Q data. Remember that it takes two bytes (16 bits)
to represent one I or Q data point.
