creating a waveform to send to Tabor's ww5061 arbitrary waveform generator

I am trying to figure out how to send my own unique waveforms to Tabor's WW5061 arbitrary waveform generator. They have provided a matlab script that will send their provided waveforms to the waveform generator. I have been using that matlab script with their waveforms and it works. However, I am trying to create my own waveforms that can be sent to the waveform generator. None of my waveforms work. I'm thinking that I'm not sending the correct type of file. They are using .wav files, but as far as I can tell these are not true wav files. I know this because I have attempted to send the waveform generator my own wav files and it does not recognize them. Does anyone know how I can generate a file that will communicate with the waveform generator?

Looks like their web site wants me to pay for the manual :(

Looking at the specifications for that device, it does seem unlikely that the files would be audio .wav files.

Thanks, I'm still having trouble. I can send you the manual and waveforms if you like :)

mmmm. I cant quite understand why it would require a .wav file, as most of this AWGs would only require a equivalant txt file, with time domain samples generated via matalb in a single column. Best advice would be to check, if it has any memory on any example files on it and see how they were defined. I am sure you will also need to create a trigger signal too, which might be included in your original .txt file
