AWG710 Arbitrary Waveform Generator Programmer Manual
Data can be loaded from the external controller to the waveform generator or
from the waveform generator to the external controller through the GPIB
interface, or through the Ethernet interface.

Use the following command to transfer data from the external controller to the
waveform generator:
MMEMory:DATA <file_name>,<data>
This command downloads <data> into the file <file_name> on the internal hard
disk, floppy disk, or the network drive. The default directory and mass memory
device are specified by the MMEMory:CDIRectory and MMEMory:MSIS commands
respectively. The <data> is in IEEE488.2 block format.
For example, the following command string will load 2048 bytes of data to the
file AWG1.
MMEMory:DATA "AWG1",#42048<data(1)><data(2)>...<data(2048)>
