Keysight 23522a Binary Arb Files


 

Hello Community,

I got a 33522a Arb Signal Generator. I'm still looking for a file format description of the binary arb file format ( *.barb ).
I found some information about this format and I still can create this files with the basic Parameters
- Number of Channel
- Numbers of Data Points
- Vmax
- Vmin
- Checksum
- Datapoints

I found some information about the ASCII Version of the file format ( *.arb ) and there are some more parameter i can set.
The problem ist for using the whole 16M space i do need the binary file structure.

Finally there are several 32bit or 64bit int / float values which are unknown for me. IT seems to me this unknown values could set a lot of interesting Parameters.
Is anyone in this group who has a full description of the *.barb file format for the 33522a series?

Alternative could be someone who hast the keysight sw benchvue with Wave Form Option for creating such binary arb Files. He could create a Set of Files with different settings. This could analyzed by my sw.

Thanks and best regards
TomS

Hey Yves,
Thanks for your answer, but this was the source i mentioned. I found it before, and it works, but you can See a lot of question marks in the structure. I try to find a description of all values in the header.

Hey Yves,
I found a threat for a 33210 where you created a testfie for a User. Is IT possible that you create a small barb File with all possible Parameters for my 33522a?
Thanks in advance Alex
