Examples

You can download a waveform to your rfsiggen object and assign the IQData and SampleRate to use.

Create an rfsiggen object to communicate with an RF signal generator using the VISA resource string and driver associated with your own instrument.

rf = rfsiggen('TCPIP0::172.28.22.99::inst0::INSTR','AgRfSigGen')

When you designate the Resource and Driver properties during object creation, it automatically connects to the instrument.

Assign the IQData and SampleRate variables to use in the download.

IQData = (-0.98:0.02:1) + 1i*(-0.98:0.02:1);
SampleRate = 800000;

Perform the download.
