Creating and Downloading Waveform Files
Programming Examples
// Create arrays to hold the I and Q data
int idata[NUMSAMPLES];
int qdata[NUMSAMPLES];
// save the number of sampes into numsamples
int numsamples = NUMSAMPLES;
// Fill the I and Q buffers with the sample data
for(int index=0; index
{
// Create the I and Q data for the number of waveform
// points and Scale the data (20000 * ...) as a precentage
// of the DAC full scale (-32768 to 32767). This example
// scales to approximately 70% of full scale.
idata[index]=23000 * sin((4*3.14*index)/numsamples);
qdata[index]=23000 * cos((4*3.14*index)/numsamples);
}
// Print the I and Q values to a text file. View the data
// to see if its correct and if needed, plot the data in a
// spreadsheet to help spot any problems.
FILE *outfile = fopen(ofile, “w”);
if (outfile==NULL) perror (“Error opening file to write”);
for(index=0; index
{
fprintf(outfile, “%d, %d\n”, idata[index], qdata[index]);
}
fclose(outfile);
// Little endian order data, use the character array and for loop.
// If big endian order, comment out this character array and for loop,
// and use the next loop (Big Endian order data).
// We need a buffer to interleave the I and Q data.
// 4 bytes to account for 2 I bytes and 2 Q bytes.
char iqbuffer[NUMSAMPLES*4];
// Interleave I and Q, and swap bytes from little
// endian order to big endian order.
