creates a ramp (sawtooth) file

<OUT>        Name of output file
<FORM>       Format of output file (SF,CF,SB, etc.)
<ELEM>       Number of elements in output file
<DATASTART>  Ordinate value for first point in file (min <= value < max)
<DATAINC>    Ordinate difference between consecutive points in file
<START>      Abscissa start
<DELTA>      Abscissa delta
<UNITS>      Abscissa units

This primitive generates a ramp waveform.  The min/max are limited to the 
MIN_VALUE and MAX_VALUE of the particular data type indicated by <FORM>. 
The <DATASTART> is restricted to be between min and max.

For real-time control of a ramp generator, use the WAVEFORM primitive.

Examples:

Switches:
  /MAX=value - Maximum ordinate value (exclusive)
  /MIN=value - Minimum ordinate value (inclusive)
  /TL        - The number of elements per process loop [DEF=4096]
