M9336A AWG Software Toolset
Soft front panel interface
An easy-to-use soft front panel (SFP) in-
terface for the AWG is a standard interface
provided with the product (Figure 4). The
SFP can be used to control the AWG and
has the following functions:
– Provide an interactive soft front panel
to allow the user to quickly learn how
to use the instrument
– Configure individual channel physical
connections: differential, single-ended
– Load waveform files
– Develop simple or complex waveform
sequences created using waveform
files
– Control the operation of the module
and how to execute the waveforms:
continuous, burst, immediate or
triggered using software or hardware
inputs, sample rate, synchronous or
independent channel operation.
– Configure channel trigger and marker
source and destination

Waveform development
There are different ways to develop waveforms for the M9336A AWG:
– M9099A Waveform Creator: supported via a .csv file
– MATLAB and Keysight IQtools Software: the AWG supports .NET driver access or
through a .csv file format.
– SystemVue: the data for the waveform segment created by SystemVue can be
exported to a .csv file compatible with the AWG
– File import: import a .csv or .bin (N5110) file
– Monitor driver calls as the AWG is
controlled via the SFP to allow the
user to quickly integrate API calls into
the test development environment
– Provides module utilities such as
self-test and firmware upgrade
– Signal Studio: uses a waveform license that enables the M9336A to accept the
downloading of Signal Studio waveforms (.wfm format). The license supports four
M9336A modules. Order the M9950A to support up to eight M9336A modules.
IVI drivers
The following Signal Studio products are supported:
– N7600B W-CDMA/HSPA+
– N7601B CDMA2000®/1xEV-DO
– N7602B GSM/Edge/Evo
– N7608C Custom modulation
– N7612B TD-SCDMA/HSPA
– N7617B WLAN 802.11a/b/g/j/p/n/ac/ah/ax
– N7624B LTE/LTE-Advanced FDD
– N7625B LTE/LTE-Advanced TDD
– N7630C Pre-5G
The AWG provides IVI.NET, IVI-C,
and LabVIEW drivers to enable easy
integration into common test development
environments. These drivers are used with
IDE and test development tools such as
Command Expert, LabVIEW, MATLAB, and
Visual Studio.
