ARB Commands
ARB commands program the arbitrary waveform generator. They program pre-defined, user-defined,
and sequenced waveforms.
Constant-Dwell
Exponential
Pulse
Ramp
Sinusoid
Staircase
Step
Trapezoid
User-Defined
ARB Sequence
[SOURce:]ARB:COUNt <value>, (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]ARB:COUNt? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
Sets the number of times that the arbitrary waveform is repeated. The repeat count range is 1 through
>16 million. For constant-dwell Arbs only, the maximum count is limited to 256.
Parameter Typical Return
1 – 16,777,216 |MIN|MAX|INFinity, *RST 1 <Arb count>
Sets the Arb count to 10: ARB:COUN10, (@1)
l Use the INFinity parameter to repeat the arbitrary waveform continuously. If MAX, or a value
greater than 16,777,216 is programmed, the Arb will also repeat continuously.
l Use ABORt:TRANsient to stop the Arb at any time. When the Arb is aborted, the output returns to
the settings that were in effect before the Arb started.
l If a count of 9.9E37 is returned, it means that the Arb is set to repeat continuously.
[SOURce:]ARB:CURRent:CONVert (@<chanlist>)
[SOURce:]ARB:VOLTage:CONVert (@<chanlist>)
Converts the specified arbitrary waveform to a list of points in the user-defined current or voltage
waveform format. This makes it possible to modify/edit one of the "standard" arbitrary waveforms. The
command performs the same function as the "Edit Points" button on the front panel ARB Properties
dialog windows.
