Creating and Downloading Waveform Files
Commands for Downloading and Extracting Waveform Data
2. From the PC command prompt or UNIX command line, type ftp . Where
instrument name
is the signal generator’s hostname or IP address.
3. At the User: prompt in the ftp window, press Enter (no entry is required).
4. At the Password: prompt in the ftp window, press Enter (no entry is required).
5. At the ftp prompt, either put a file or get a file:
To put a file, type:
put /user/waveform/
where is the name of the file to download and is the name
designator for the signal generator’s /user/waveform/ directory.
If is unspecified, ftp uses the specified to name .
• If a marker file is associated with the data file, use the following command to download it to
the signal generator:
put /user/markers/
where is the name of the file to download and is the name

For more examples of put command usage refer to Table 5- 13 .
To get a file, type:
get /user/waveform/
where is the file to download from the signal generator’s /user/waveform/
directory and is the name designator for the local PC/UNIX.
• If a marker file is associated with the data file, use the following command to download it to
the local PC/UNIX directory:
