delete(filename: str) → None[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:WAVeform:DELete
driver.source.bb.arbitrary.waveform.delete(filename = 'abc')

Deletes the specified waveform file. If the file is not on the default path, the path must be specified at the same time. The file extension may be omitted. Only files with the file extension wv are deleted.

Parameters:: filename – string

get_free() → int[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:WAVeform:FREE
value: int = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.waveform.get_free()

Queries the free disk space on the default path of the instrument’s hard disk.

Returns:: free: integer Range: 0 to INT_MAX

get_points() → int[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:WAVeform:POINts
value: int = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.waveform.get_points()

Queries the number of samples (the number of I/Q values pairs) in the selected waveform file.

Returns:: points: waveform filename Range: 0 to 1000

get_select() → str[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:WAVeform:SELect
value: str = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.waveform.get_select()

Selects a waveform file in the default directory. You can omit the file extension. For supported file formats, see ‘About ARB file formats’.

Returns:: filename: string

get_tag() → str[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:WAVeform:TAG
value: str = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.waveform.get_tag()

Queries the content of the specified tag of the selected waveform file (see also ‘Tags for waveforms, data and control lists’) .

Returns:: tag: ‘comment’| ‘copyright’| ‘date’| ‘lacpfilter’| ‘marker name’| ‘poweroffset’| ‘samples’

set_select(filename: str) → None[source]

# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:WAVeform:SELect
driver.source.bb.arbitrary.waveform.set_select(filename = 'abc')

Selects a waveform file in the default directory. You can omit the file extension. For supported file formats, see ‘About ARB file formats’.

Parameters:: filename – string
