ARB Subsystem
ARB commands program the constant-dwell arbitrary waveforms. Constant-dwell waveforms can
have up to 65,535 points assigned to them, with the same dwell time for each point.

[SOURce:]ARB:COUNt <value>|MIN|MAX|INFinity
[SOURce:]ARB:COUNt? [MIN|MAX]
Specifies the number of times the Arb repeats. Use the INFinity parameter to repeat the Arb
continuously.
Parameter Typical Return

[SOURce:]ARB:VOLTage:CDWell[:LEVel] <value>{,<value>}|<Block>
[SOURce:]ARB:VOLTage:CDWell[:LEVel]?
Specifies the level of each point in the Arb. Values are specified in either amperes or volts. The
minimum and maximum values depend on the ratings of the unit.
