i) TRACe subsystem
TRACe:CATalog?
This returns a list of defined waveform names. This command returns a list of all waveform
names that can be selected by the user.
Syntax:
TRACe:CATalog?
Parameters:
None
Query example:
TRAC:CAT?
Response format:
<CRD>[, <CRD>]
Response example:
SIN, SQU, ARB1, ARB2, ARB3, ARB4, ARB5, ARB6, ARB7, ARB8,
ARB9, ARB10, ARB11, ARB12, ARB13, ARB14, ARB15, ARB16
TRACe[:DATA]
This sends or receives arbitrary waveforms. When a waveform name (ARB1 to ARB16) is
selected as the first parameter, the subsequent parameters are used to send 2 bytes × 4096 words (=
8192 bytes) of waveform data in big endian order (one word of waveform data is sent in 2’s
complement format, higher byte first and then lower byte). As in the command example,
everything from the command to the data should be sent at one time.
However, the waveform data must be 4096 words.
The effective range for waveform data is
16384 to 16383. If a value of
16384 or below is input,
it is returned as
16384. If a value of 16383 or above is input, it is recognized as 16383.
