would dictate that the data must be sent as 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4. The ABAB format would dic-
tate the order 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4, 3, 4.

Downloads integer values representing DAC codes (DATA:ARBitrary[1|2]:DAC) or floating point values (DATA:A-
RBitrary[1|2]) into waveform volatile memory as either a list of comma separated values or binary block of data.
The optional [1|2] after the ARBitrary keyword indicates whether the data to be down-
loaded contains one (default) or two channels of data.
To use dual arbitrary waveform files (single files containing two channels of arbitrary
waveform data), you must have the
<arb_name> An unquoted string of up to 12 characters.
<binary_block> integer values from -32767 to +32767 or floating
point values from -1.0 to +1.0 in Definite Length Arbitrary Block for-
mat (details below). From 8 to 1M or 16M samples per waveform,
depending on the model and
Definite-length block data allows any type of device-dependent data
to be transmitted as a series of 8-bit binary data bytes. This is par-
ticularly useful for transferring large quantities of data or 8-bit
extended ASCII codes.
