Certain output amplitude and frequency combinations can exceed the instrument's
dynamic response capability and cause the output to shut down, especially under
no-load conditions. Refer to
for more information.
The output of the Keysight N7900 models can be modulated by the instrument's built-in arbitrary
waveform generator. This allows the output to generate complex user-defined voltage or current
waveforms. The following are key features of the constant-dwell arbitrary waveform generator:
l
Generate voltage or current arbitrary waveforms.
l
Arbs can contain up to 65,535 data points.
l
A single dwell value applies to every point in the arbitrary waveform (constant-dwell).
l
Only the Arb that corresponds to the active priority mode, either voltage or current priority, may be
generated.
Specify the Arb type and dwell
To specify the Arb type and dwell:
Front Panel Menu Reference
SCPI Command
Select Transient\Arb\Config.
In the dropdown list, pick either a voltage or a current
Arb. Then press Select.
Enter a dwell value in the Dwell field. Then press Select.
To specify a voltage or current Arb:
ARB:FUNC:TYPE VOLT
ARB:FUNC:TYPE CURR
To specify a dwell time of 1 millisecond:
ARB:VOLT:CDW:DWEL 0.001
ARB:CURR:CDW:DWEL 0.001
Configure the Arb
Note that you can only
view
Arb point data from the front panel. You cannot
program
Arb data from the
front panel. You must use the SCPI ARB:CURRent:CDWell or ARB:VOLTage:CDWell commands to
program the Arb data.
