11-5
<4> Transfer
When the Transfer button is clicked, the arbitrary wave data will be transferred to the
device.
<5> Cancel
When the Cancel button is clicked, the operation is cancelled and the [Transfar arbitrary
wave data] dialog box closes.
The following types of arbitrary waveform files can be read:
Plain text file (extension: “.txt”)
Range of data:
16384 to 16383
Contents of file: One data entry (no comma, left-justified) per line
16384
1000
2
10
Text file that was output with “ARB Arbitrary Waveform Editor”
(extension:
“.txt”)
2’s complement binary files (extension: “.arb”)
Range of data:
16384 to 16383
Contents of file: 4,096 words must be saved with big endian
In the above example, the data is organized in the following order from
the top of the file.
0x00, 0x00, 0x03, 0xE8, 0x07, 0xd0, …, 0xF4, 0x48
Binary file that was output with ARB Arbitrary Waveform Editor
(extension:
“.wdb”)
The arbitrary waveform size of the APS-1102 Programmable AC/DC Power Source is 4,096 words
(1 word = 16 bits).
The number of arbitrary waveform data units within an arbitrary waveform file must always be
4,096 words. If it is insufficient, an error message will appear.
4,096 lines are required.
