WAVEFORM TRANSFER
WAVEFORM_SETUP, WFSU
Command/Query
DESCRIPTION
The WAVEFORM_SETUP command specifies the amount of data in
a waveform to be transmitted to the controller. The command
controls the settings of the parameters listed below.
N OTATION
FP
first point
NP
number of points
SN
segment number
SP
Sparsing
Sparsing (SP): The sparsing parameter defines the interval between data points. For
example:
SP = 0
sends all data points
SP = 1
sends all data points
SP = 4
sends every 4th data point
Number of points (NP): The number of points parameter indicates how many points should
be transmitted. For example:
NP = 0
sends all data points
NP = 1
sends 1 data point
NP = 50
sends a maximum of 50 data points
NP = 1001
sends a maximum of 1001 data points
First point (FP): The first point parameter specifies the address of the first data point
to be sent. For waveforms acquired in sequence mode, this refers to
the relative address in the given segment. For example:
FP = 0
corresponds to the first data point
FP = 1
corresponds to the second data point
FP = 5000
corresponds to data point 5001
