What is the file format for the disk drive?
The file format for the AWG family disk drive is a proprietary. It is part of the purchased operating system and we are not allowed by the license to divulge the format. However, we have a large collection of utilities that will convert ASCII (Y values only) or Comma Separated Values (X and Y pairs) files into the AWG disk formats. These utilities operate in a DOS environment and can be used on an IBM compatible PC running DOS, Windows or Windows 95. If you are operating in a non-PC environment please contact the support center at 1-800-835-9433. Back • How big can a sequence file be? A sequence file can consist of up to 400 different waveform files that can be used in any order on up to 4000 (AWG2005), 5460 (AWG2041) or 8000 (AWG2040 & AWG2020/21) lines. On each line, you can loop the waveform up to 65,535 times. Back • Why can’t I save my 1 Meg waveform onto the 1.44 Meg floppy disk? Each point of waveform data on any of the AWG generators takes 2 bytes of memory/disk space. This is
