--- Quote from: Electro Fan on November 09, 2014, 06:23:19 pm ---Thanks - Just to confirm, is the ability to pull a waveform from a scope and modify the waveform limited only to Tek scopes? (No way to make other brands interoperable through NI VISA?) --- End quote --- The AFG units don't run NI VISA as far as I know. If you need interoperability, a better option might be putting together a small script to run on a control computer to fetch a scope trace and then download it into the arb. If you leverage an instrument abstraction layer (e.g. python ivi) then this can work well for multiple different instruments. |

This could be easily accomplished with any hardware you wanted. For the OP, its just a matter of how much effort you want to exert versus paying for more turn key solutions. Sometimes its worth the cost (in $ and loss of flexibility), all depends on your needs and resources. |

There's a LabView driver for the AFG series. As well as a VISA driver provided by Tek. Sent from my Smartphone |

--- Quote from: Electro Fan on November 09, 2014, 06:28:13 pm ---Wuerstchenhund, any chance you can confirm whether or not it's possible to pull a waveform from a Rigol scope to the DG1062Z and modify it on the DG1062Z? Thanks, EF --- End quote --- Unfortunately not, as I don't have a Rigol scope, and also no longer have access to one. However if the scope can save a waveform as csv file then you should be able to load it into the DG1000z. Not sure if you can edit it, though, especially as editing over the front panel is limited to 16kpts only. |

It is possible to pull a waveform from a Rigol scope to the DG1062Z. It is done with a USB connection. According to the manual: "DG1000Z could interconnect with RIGOL oscilloscope which supports USB-TMC seamlessly and rebuilt and output the waveform data collected by the oscilloscope losslessly." I attached the related pages from the DG1032Z manual. I do own a DG1032Z, but unfortunately no Rigol Scope. I'm very happy with my Generator, but I am not using the ARB software. Regards, Gertjan. |
