3152B User Manual
Main Window
The main window includes a standard Windows menu bar at the top
(Figure 4-2). It provides access to operations such as loading and
saving files, setting viewing options, and configuring the 3152B.
The Link bar is immediately below the menu bar. The Link bar
provides direct access to instruments that are active on the
interface bus. ArbConnection can control a number of instruments,
such as the Model 3152B, simultaneously. If you connect an
instrument while ArbConnection is running, ArbConnection
automatically detects the instrument and adds its name and
associated address to the drop-down list in the Link bar. If you run
ArbConnection in offline mode, the Link bar will show “3152B,
Offline.”
The Panels toolbar is shown in Figure 4-3. By clicking the buttons
on the Panels toolbar, you may access the corresponding virtual
control panels (detailed later in this chapter). When you launch
ArbConnection, the Output panel is initially open.

Each control panel replicates the look and feel of a bench-top
