How to delete files from the internal memory for SDG6000X arbitrary function generators

December 8, 2021

SIGLENT SDG arbitrary waveform generators can store a number of arbitrary waveform files in their internal memory.

You can manually delete them using the Store/Recall button on the front panel.

To delete them remotely you can send the following SCPI command:

DEL_STORE_FILE filename.bin

Where filename.bin is the filename you wish to remove.
