Parameter
Available Key Settings
Description
Trig Src
Key, IO, or Rmt
Sets the trigger source for the system.
Default is Rmt.
Action required:
Press Trig Src to toggle between Key, IO, and Rmt.
Key (Arb Run/Stop Key)
Selects the Arb Run Stop key or [List Run/Stop] as
a trigger source.
IO (DIO Trigger In)
Selects any configured digital IO (with Trigger
Input function) as a trigger source
Rmt (Remote Command)
Selects a remote interface command as a trigger
source.
Repeat Count
1 to 4096
Sets the Arb sequence repeat count. This sets the number of times that the Arb sequence is
executed before it completes.
Default is 1.
Continuous
-
Enables check box to repeat the sequence step continuously.
Step 4 – Run the Arb sequence
When Arb sequence is initiated, all the Arb properties cannot be configured, which includes adding or
removing step from the sequence list.
– Set Trigger Source to Key. Press Trig Src Key.
– Press the color-coded [On] key to enable the output.
– Press Run to start the Arb operation. To abort the operation, press Stop. Alternatively, press [List Run/Stop].
– Press Back to exit and return to the previous menu.
– Press [Scope/Datalog] to enter Scope view and display the Arb.
From the remote interface:
Observe the following when creating or editing an Arb sequence:
– The Arb function type must match the Arb type specified in each sequence step.
– Sequence steps must be specified sequentially. The last value in the parameter list is the sequence step
number.
– When a step is added, all Arb parameters must be entered.
The following commands program a voltage sequence comprised of a pulse, a ramp, and a sine Arb with the pulse
Arb repeated twice.
