Configuring Pulse Arbs
The basic steps in this example are the same steps used to program the Sine, Step,
Ramp, Staircase, and Exponential Arbs. The only difference is in the individual Arb
parameters. These differences are described in the
Arb Parameter Reference section.
Step 1 – Select a Voltage or Current Pulse Arb:
Press the Arb key twice or press the Arb key and then Properties to access the Arb Selection window.
In the Arb Type dropdown menu, select either a Voltage or Current Arb type. Then navigate to and
select the Pulse output type.
Step 2 – Configure the Pulse Properties:
Press the Properties key or select the Arb Properties button.
Enter the voltage or current values for the level before and after the pulse (V0 or I0). Enter the
amplitude of the pulse (V1 or I1).
Enter the pulse times: t0 = time before the pulse; t1 = time of the pulse; t2 = time after the pulse.
Specify what happens when the pulse completes – select whether the output returns to the DC value
that was in effect before the pulse started, or whether the output should remain at the last Arb value.
Specify if the Arb should repeat, either continuously or only for a specified repeat count. A repeat
count of 1 runs the Arb once.
Select Edit Points to convert the parameters to a User-defined Arb.
