Using the Built-in Arb Waveforms

1	Settings – Show or hide the Waveform Settings tab to change settings for built-in Arb waveforms. This is not applicable for List.
2	Run All, Stop All – Run and stop the Arb for all outputs.
3	Change the Trace View to Single Channel or All Channels.
4	Output number. Only one output channel can be selected at a time.
5	Run or Stop the Arb
6	Arb waveform - Click to select Arb waveform.
7	Priority mode - Click to select the output priority mode.
8	Trace View with settings indicator

Step 1 – Select the Arb output

Voltage	Sets the Arb output to voltage
Current	Sets the Arb output to current
Power	Sets the Arb output to power
Resistance	Sets the Arb output to resistance

Step 2 – Select the Arb waveform

Click and select the desired Arb waveform.

NOTE: The default Arb is List.

Step 3 – Configure the Arb waveform

Click Settings.The available built-in waveforms and their associates parameters are as follows:

Tip: You may also configure the waveform through the Trace View. Click each parameter to change the setting.

Sine	Amplitude - the amplitude or peak value Offset - the offset from zero Frequency - the frequency of the sine wave
Pulse	Start Setting - the setting before and after the pulse Pulse Setting - the amplitude of the pulse Delay - the delay after the trigger is received but before the pulse starts Pulse Width - the width of the pulse End Time - the time the output remains at the end setting after the pulse completes Frequency - the frequency of the pulse wave
Trapezoid	Start Setting - the setting before and after the trapezoid Peak Setting - the peak amplitude of the trapezoid Delay - the delay after the trigger is received but before the trapezoid starts Rise Time - the time that the trapezoid ramps up Peak Width - the width at the peak amplitude Fall Time - the time that the trapezoid ramps down End Time - the time the output remains at the end setting after the trapezoid completes
Step	Start Setting - the setting before the step End Setting - the setting after the step Delay - the delay after the trigger is received but before the step occurs End Time - the time the output remains at the end setting after the step occurs
Exponential	Start Setting - the setting before the waveform starts End Setting - the end setting of the waveform Delay - the delay after the trigger is received but before the waveform starts Rise Time - the time for the amplitude to go from the start setting to the end setting Time Constant - the time constant of the exponential curve
Ramp	Start Setting - the setting before the ramp End Setting - the setting after the ramp Delay - the delay after the trigger is received but before the ramp starts Ramp Time - the time that the output ramps up End Time - the time the output remains at the end setting after the ramp completes
Stair	Start Setting - the setting before the staircase starts End Setting - the setting after the final step Delay - the delay after the trigger is received but before the waveform starts Step Time - the time to complete all of the steps End Time - the time the waveform remains at the end of setting after the staircase completes Number of Steps - the total number of staircase steps
Square	Start Setting - the setting before the square starts Peak Setting - the peak amplitude of the square Delay - the delay after the trigger is received but before the waveform starts Peak Width - the width at the peak amplitude End Time - the time the waveform remains at the end of setting after the square completes
Triangle	Start Setting - the setting before the triangle starts Peak Setting - the peak amplitude of the triangle Delay - the delay after the trigger is received but before the waveform starts Rise Time - the time that the triangle ramps up Fall Time - the time that the triangle ramps down End Time - the time the waveform remains at the end of setting after the triangle completes

Common settings

NOTE: Common settings are applicable for all waveforms except Step waveform.

Output After	Specifies what happens when the waveform completes. DC - Returns to DC value that was in effect before waveform started. List - Remains at last waveform value.
Repeat Count	The number of times that the waveform is executed before it completes.

Step 3 – Run the Arb waveform

Use the / buttons for each output to run and stop the Arb individually.

Use Run All / Stop All to run Arb for all outputs.
