Flexible instrument control - Send SCPI commands to control your signal generator’s settings from the MATLAB command line with Waveform Download Assistant.There’s no need to scale or format data the Waveform Download Assistant handles it for you. Easy to use in MATLAB - Use the Download Assistant’s MATLAB functions to connect to the instrument, download waveform data, set parameters, and play back waveforms from the MATLAB command line.
However, Download Assistant requires you to have MATLAB and its Instrument Control Toolbox which you order directly from Keysight as option N6171A when you purchase your instrument or directly from MathWorks if you already have purchased your instrument. In addition, add markers to trigger events during the playback of your signal and adjust parameters such as sampling rate and filter type.
This software enables you to download your custom I/Q data into the baseband generator of any vector signal generator and use a single MATLAB command to play it back. The Download Assistant software installs a series of MATLAB functions as MATLAB files into the directory that you choose during installation. Visit for details.ĭownload Assistant: Generate and download waveforms to your Keysight signal generator using included MATLAB functions MATLAB is now available directly from Keysight as option N6171A with the purchase of your Keysight signal generator, signal analyzers, PXI and AXI modular hardware, and other instruments.
MATLAB, a software environment and programming language for design and test engineers, extends the functionality of Keysight generators by enabling you to generate arbitrary and standard waveforms, automate tests, and configure, control, and analyze measurements from other instruments.
