    This document defines the different formats of Pulse Data Words (PDWs) that can be used to control parameters for signal generation. PDW Format 1 is the full setup specification, consisting of 7 words that specify parameters like frequency, phase, pulse start time, width, power level, markers, modulation mode, and more. Format 2 is for marker setup only. Each parameter field is defined along with the bit location within the words and how to convert between engineering units and the field value.

    PDW Definitions
    This section defines the available types of Pulse Data Word (PDW):
    Format 0 (Null)
    Format 1 (Full Setup)
    PDW format 1 is the full setup specification, specifying every parameter that a PDW can control. It consists of 7 32-
    bit words. All fields and words are in little-endian order.
