Custom file arb waveforms (full arb)

The following figure summarizes the basic processes to create a custom full arb waveform file, to load
the file into a pulse card, and to output the pulse waveforms.
To create custom file arb waveforms (full arb):
1. Select and configure waveforms.

After you select an available waveform type, configure its settings, and name it, the waveform
is placed in the Scratch Pad.

Waveforms remain in the Scratch Pad until they are deleted by the user.

Refer to
for custom file arb. Refer to
page 10-10) for details.
2. Copy the waveforms into the Sequencer for Channel 1, Channel 2, or both:

The order that two or more waveforms appear in a channel sequencer is the order that the
waveforms are output by that channel.

Refer to
details.
3. Save the waveforms in the Sequencer as a .kaf file. See
waveforms into Sequencer
4. Load the .kaf waveform file into a pulse generator (using the appropriate pulse card tab): Refer
to Custom Arb file operation: Load waveform and turn on output
5. Turn on the output for enabled channels. See
