N5182B SCPI/file format info for waveform header

Hello MXG Users,

Where can I find information on the file format for an ARB file header?

Chp 5 of Programmers Guide, Table 5-7 offers the command: MMEM:DATA "HDR1:",.

Many pages are devoted to explaining byte swapping of the i/q samples and there is a page or so on the marker file..... But I have scanned Chp 5 for a description of what should be (and what can be) in the header file and it's associated syntax to no avail. The best I could do was find a code snippet on p 296 which yielded :sour:radio:arb:header:write ....... and I failed to find an entry in the manual for this command.

The documentation suggests that this is where all the hardware settings go - sample rate, scaling etc, which makes sense since I want these tied to the waveform.... Would just be nice if the programming manual told you the format....

Please help

thanks

andy

hi tabott

sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but did you find any documentation asked by the OP (i.e., about the tags/fields that need to be added to the header file for I/Q waveforms)?

thanks

I need to generate waveform data for the arbitrary waveform function of the N5172B.

Where is the file format documented?
