Siglent SDG1020 Arb data format
The Siglent SDG1020 comes with a wave form generating package for Windows XP and Vista. It’s called EasyWave. In order to install this you’ll need the NI VISA runtime (otherwise you’ll get a rather un-descriptive error saying “VISA32.DLL could not be found”. Once installed you can draw waveforms and either save them to a USB stick or program them to the device over USB (though I’ve never tried this).
However the file format appears to just be a modified CSV of the following format (and yes, the typo is written by the supplied software tool). It appears to be a DOS formatted file. A full example file is here
