Arb Commands
Dual ARB Subsystem–N5172B/82B ([:SOURce]:RADio:ARB)
EPT2 This choice is synonymous with EPTRIGGER2 and selects the PATT TRIG IN 2 pin
on the rear panel AUX I/O connector.
EPTRIGGER1 This choice is synonymous with EPT1 and selects the PAT TRIG rear panel
connector.
EPTRIGGER2 This choice is synonymous with EPT2 and selects the PATT TRIG IN 2 pin on the
rear panel AUXILIARY I/O connector.

:WAVeform
Supported N5172B/82B
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:WAVeform "WFM1:file_name"|"SEQ:file_name"
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:WAVeform?
This command selects a waveform file or sequence, for the dual ARB player to play. The file must be
present in volatile memory, WFM1, or in the SEQ directory. If a file is in non–volatile memory
(NVWFM), use the command “:COPY[:NAME]” on page 122 to copy the file to WFM1. Any specified
values in the header are applied to the ABR upon selection. Unspecified fields in the header cause no
change in the ARB state.
"WFM1:file_name" This variable names a waveform file residing in volatile memory (WFM1:). For
information on the file name syntax, see “File Name Variables” on page 13.
"SEQ:file_name" This variable names a sequence file residing in the catalog of sequence files. For
more information on the file name syntax, see “File Name Variables” on page 13.
Example
:RAD:ARB:WAV "WFM1:Test_Data"
The preceding example selects the file Test_Data from the list of files in volatile waveform memory,
WFM1, and applies its file header settings.

:WAVeform:NHEAders
Supported N5172B/82B
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:WAVeform:NHEaders "WFM1:file_name"|"SEQ:filename"
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:WAVeform:NHEaders?
This command, for the dual ARB mode, allows for a fast selection of a segment or sequence
waveform file. No header information or settings are applied to the segment or sequence waveform
file when this command is used. This will improve the access or loading speed of the waveform file.
The file must be in volatile waveform memory (WFM1), or in the SEQ directory. If a file is in
non–volatile waveform memory (NVWFM), use the command “:COPY[:NAME]” on page 122 to copy
files to WFM1.
"WFM1:file_name" This variable names a waveform file residing in volatile memory:WFM1. For
information on the file name syntax, see “File Name Variables” on page 13.
