#!/usr/bin/env python3 """Load a periodic pulse into the AD9102 SRAM over the UART protocol. Builds the BEGIN (0xCCCC) / DATA (0xDDDD) / COMMIT packet sequence for the custom-waveform upload path. Pattern = of full-scale top samples followed by base samples; BEGIN param1 carries the repetition period in MICROSECONDS (firmware converts it to PAT_PERIOD/PATTERN_PERIOD_BASE for its 150 MHz DAC clock; 0 = legacy back-to-back playback). Example (1 us pulse at 1 kHz): python3 ad9102_pulse.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --width-us 1 --period-us 1000 Use --dry-run to print the packets without opening a port.
