Keysight N6701C - Running the Arb

Running the Arb
Step 6. Enable the Arb function to respond to output triggers.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\Mode.
For voltage, current, power, or resistance Arb triggering,
setthe mode to Arb. Then press Select.
To enable the Arb to respond to triggers, use:
VOLT:MODE ARB,(@1)
CURR:MODE ARB,(@1)
POW:MODE ARB,(@1)
RES:MODE ARB,(@1)
Step 7. Select the Arb trigger source.
Select a trigger source from the following:
l Bus Selects GPIB device trigger, *TRG, or <GET> (Group Execute Trigger).
l Imm An immediate trigger command either from the front panel or over the bus will generate an
immediate trigger.
l Ext Selects all digital port pins that have been configured as trigger inputs.
l Pin<n>Selects a specific pin that is configured as a Trigger Input on the digital port.<n> specifies
the pin number. The selected pin must be configured as a Trigger Input in order to be used as a trig-
ger source (refer to Trigger Input).
Use the following commands to select a trigger source:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\TrigSource.
Under Arb trigger source, select Bus.
To selectDigital pin triggers, selectTransient\TrigSource.
Then selectone of the digital port pins. (Ext selects all pins
thathave been configured as trigger inputs.)
Then press Select.
To selectBus triggers for Arbs, use:
TRIG:ARB:SOUR BUS,(@1)
To selectImmediatetriggers for output 1:
TRIG:ARB:SOUR IMM,(@1)
To selectDigital pin triggers: TRIG:ARB:SOUR PIN<n>,
(@1)
where n is the pin number.
Step 8. Initiate and Trigger the Arb.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\Control.
Select Initiate.
Waita second, then selectTrigger to generatean
immediate trigger signal regardless of the trigger source
setting.
To initiatethe transient trigger system and generate a trigger:
INIT:TRAN (@1)
TRIG:TRAN (@1)
Alternatively, you can also program a *TRG or an IEEE-488
<get> command.
