Source for .arb waveforms?

Does this help?

Look for example at page 31.

that tells how to create files for Agilent signal sources, doesn't really help me with my Rigol. I understand the .arb format well enough, at least when the whole file is one waveform, but I don't know yet why my data fails to create a valid .arb file. Time to dig out Excel and formula up some tests.

You need to install "Ultra Sigma" from Rigol and a driver from NI to make this work. Having been down this road (success with a DS1074Z-S, not so much with an MSO2072A-S - see my thread about this), I'm currently cobbling together a c# program that takes a .csv and sends it directly to the scope.

Just wanted to post that Rigol did provide a specification of the Arb. Wave Gen format across the DG1000/4000/5000 series. It was written in Jan 2015 but probably came out much later than that. I just found it when looking for info on the .RAF file format and though this thread is many years old, it's still searchable and has relevant information, so I thought it's worthwhile to reply and upload the document here. See attachment.

Sorry about resurrecting 10 years old thread, but has there been some development with *.ARB waveforms? Did Rigol develop some GUI editor and loader software like Agilent's "IntuiLink Waveform Editor" or "BenchVue Function Generator Control" in the meantime? I thought it would be part of Rigol's Ultra Sigma software, but apparently not. Unfortunately, built-in generators in MSO5074 scope support only the *.ARB format...
