Creating and Downloading Waveform Files

Loading, Playing, and Verifying a Downloaded Waveform

NOTE

When you copy a waveform file, marker file, or header file information from volatile or

Conversely, when you delete an I/Q file, the associated marker and header files are deleted.
It is not necessary to send separate commands to copy or delete the marker and header
files.
