Importing and Downloading I/Q Data—Big Endian Order
On the documentation CD, this programming example’s name is “impDwnLd_c++.txt.”
This C++ programming example (compiled using Metrowerks CodeWarrier 3.0) assumes that the data
is in big endian order and performs the following functions:
• error checking
• binary file importing from the PC or workstation.
• binary file download to the signal generator.
// Description: Send a file in blocks of data to a signal generator

//remove BBG1 from file path
