Arbitrary Waveform Description
Each output on the power analyzer can be modulated by the power module’s built-in arbitrary
waveform generator function. This allows the output to act as a DC bias transient generator or an
arbitrary waveform generator. The maximum bandwidth is based on the type of power module that is
installed. This is documented in the
Keysight N6700 DC Power Analyzer Family Specifications Guide
.
The arbitrary waveform generator has a variable dwell period, where each point in the waveform is
defined by the voltage or current setting along with the dwell time or duration to stay at that setting.
Waveforms can be generated by specifying only a small number of points. For example, a pulse would
only take three points to define it. However, sine, ramp, trapezoid, and exponential waveforms have
100 points assigned to the portion of their waveform that continuously changes. Constant-dwell
waveforms can have up to 65,535 points assigned to them.
Each waveform can be set to repeat continuously or repeat a specific number of times. For example, to
generate a pulse train of 10 identical pulses, you can program the parameters for one pulse and then
specify that you want it to repeat 10 times.
For the user-defined waveforms, you can specify up to 511 step-points of voltage or current. You can
specify a different dwell time for each of the 511 step-points. The output will step through the user-
defined values, staying at each point for the programmed dwell time, and then moving on to the next
point.
You can also combine a number of individual arbitrary waveforms into an Arb sequence, as long as the
total number of points of all waveforms does not exceed 511 points.
The following sections provide examples of how to configure a Pulse Arb, a User-defined Arb, a
Constant-dwell Arb, and an Arb Sequence, which is a combination of Arbs combined in a sequence..
