Appendix F: Miscellaneous Code Conversion On the AWG710&AWG710B Arbitrary Waveform Generator, it is possible to select the coding system used when pattern strings are output. If the code will be affected by the immediately preceding data, the data item just before the first item of data will be calculated as 0.
