Importing Waveform Data

Data import functions allow you to use waveform data created outside the arbitrary waveform generator. You can import

data to create a new waveform or to replace existing waveform data.

The arbitrary waveform generator supports the following file formats:

■ *.AWG file created by Tektronix AWG5000 series and AWG7000 series

■ The following file formats created by Tektronix arbitrary waveform generators such as AWG400/500/600/700 series:

■ * . PAT

■ *.SEQ

■ *.WFM

■ *.TFW file created by Tektronix AFG3000 series arbitrary/function generator

■ *.DTG file created by Tektronix DTG5000 series data timing generator

■ *.WFM or *.ISF file created by Tektronix TDS/DPO series oscilloscope

■ Text file (*.TXT)
