Model 4200A-SCS Parameter Analyzer Reference Manual

seg_arb_file

This command is used to load a waveform from an existing Segment Arb
Usage
int seg_arb_file(INSTR_ID instr_id, long chan, char *fname);
instr_id
chan
fname
Pulse modes
Source only, Segment Arb
Details
This command loads a waveform from an existing Segment Arb.ksf waveform file into the pulse
card. A Segment Arb waveform can be loaded for each channel of the pulse card. Once loaded, use
pulse_output to turn on the appropriate channel. Use pulse_trig to select the trigger mode and
start (or arm) pulse output.
When specifying the file name, include the full command path with the file name. Existing .ksf
waveforms are typically saved in the SarbFiles folder at the following command path location:
C:\s4200\kiuser\KPulse\SarbFiles
A Segment Arb waveform can be created using KPulse and saved as a .ksf waveform file (refer to
KPulse (for Keithley Pulse Generator Cards)
You can modify a waveform in an existing .ksf file using a text editor.
Example
seg_arb_file(VPU1, 1, "C:\\s4200\\kiuser\\KPulse\\SarbFiles\\sarb3.ksf")
Loads a Segment Arb file named sarb3.ksf (saved in the SarbFiles folder) into the pulse card for
channel 1.
