Creating Tek AWG .wfm file

[dwormus]

Hi,

I'm trying to create a Tek .wfm waveform file for my AWG610 from a ASCII text file.  Is there a VI to do this conversion?  I have only seen code to go the other way?  Does anyone know of a quick way to do this conversion?

Hello dwormus,

What type of format is this file in?  Also where have you seen the VIs do the conversion the other way around?  I don't know of any VIs that will write any format other than plain text, spreadsheet, lvm, tdm, or binary. 

We will have a better idea of what is available with the location of these VIs that do the opposite functionality.

Thanks,

Steven T.

I haven't seen anything like that.  Here is the WFM reference (for scopes, hopefully the same as AWGs).  You will probably need to roll your own.

Attached is an llb I wrote a few years back to generate an RF pulse and gating signals and then download them to the AWG610 via FTP.  It does work so hopefully there is some code in here that you can use.  The code has no comments in it, so hopefully you can decipher it.  I think it is in LabVIEW 7.0.
