Configuring an Arb Sequence
The Arb Sequence allows multiple and different Arbs to run one after another is succession. Any of the
standard Arb types, except for constant-dwell Arbs, can be included in the Arb sequence. All Arbs in
the sequence must be of the same type; either voltage or current.
As with single Arbs, each Arb in the sequence has its own repeat count, can be set for dwell or trigger
pacing, and can be set to repeat continuously. Note also that a repeat count can be set for the entire
sequence, and it can also be set to repeat continuously.
The following figure illustrates a sequence comprised of a pulse Arb, a ramp Arb, and a sine Arb. The
repeat count value indicates how many times each Arb repeats before moving to the next type.
Step 1 – Select a voltage or current Arb Sequence:
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 Sequence output type.
Step 2 – Configure the Arb Sequence:
Press the Properties key or select the Arb Properties button.
For step 0, select an Arb type from the Name dropdown list. Select the Edit button or Properties key to
edit the waveform. The example below shows the Pulse waveform type. Refer to
Configuring Pulse
Arbs for information on setting the Pulse parameters.
