Streaming
Streaming is a way to generate waveforms that are too large to fit in the onboard memory of an RF signal generator.
Streaming can be used in Arbitrary Waveform or Script generation modes. You can stream waveforms only when the power level is defined as a peak power, not an average power.
To stream waveform data, allocate and identify all or a portion of the RF signal generator onboard memory to act as an onboard waveform for streaming. Before initiating waveform generation, fill that onboard memory with the first part of your waveform. As the waveform is generated, continuously write the remaining waveform data until generation is complete. The RF signal generator uses the instrument to stream the waveform.
