Documentation

ASCII command for an arbitrary waveform generator. This function interprets the specified waveform string and returns the corresponding awg components and awg points (arbitary waveforms only). On errer the function returns a negative value and an error message if a string pointer is specified. The caller is responsible to free the memory returned by points or errmsg. (In no case both are returned!) For arbitrary waveforms the caller should also specify if the waveforms are meant for a DS340.

Returns:

0 if successful, <0 if not

Parameters:

cmd - waveform description
comp - awg components (return, maximum 2)
cnum - number of awg components (return)
errmsg - error message (return)
points - waveform array (return)
num - number of points in the waveform array
isDS340 - true if stand-alone AWG
