Output an arbitrary waveform created on laptop from AWG on real-time system

I am trying to use the Analog Waveform Editor on a laptop to create a custom waveform.  I then want my real time PXI system to output this waveform from a PXI-5422 AWG.  I have the laptop and PXI connected through a LAN connection in the wall.  I have created a waveform file on my laptop but, can't figure out how to get it down to the AWG and have that system run it.  I am able to send other messages via TCP connection.  Is it possible to somehow convert the file into a format that can be downloaded via TCP to run on the AWG?

HI Kari
 
The easiest method will be to FTP the waveform to the RT computer.  Save the waveform to a file on your laptop. Open an FTP client to your RT computer and save the file to a directory on the RT computer's hard drive.  Your RT program will have to be able to access this file.
