A CD Arb can run along with other Arbs on other outputs. If multiple outputs run a CD Arb, all CD Arbs
must have the same dwell time. If a repeat count is specified, all CD Arbs must have the same length
and repeat count.
Because the CD Arbs can have such a large number of points, you cannot define the individual voltage
or current values from the front panel. Instead, the CD Arb data must be imported into the instrument
from a file. This is explained later in this section under Importing and Exporting Arb Data.
Step 1 – Select a voltage or current Constant-dwell Arb:
Press the Arb key twice or press the Arb key and then Properties to access the Arb Selection window.
In the Arb Type dropdown menu, select either a Voltage or Current Arb type. Navigate to and select
the Constant-Dwell output type.
Step 2 – Configure the Constant-dwell properties:
Press the Properties key or select the Arb Properties button.
Use the Import button to import a previously created CD Arb. Conversely, use the Export button to
export the CD-Arb to a file.
Once the file has been imported the Arb Properties window will displays the following information
about the Arb: minimum value, maximum value, average value, length in points, and the total time.
You can change the dwell per step of the Arb after it has been imported. When an Arb file is imported,
the dwell time specified in the file will be entered in the Dwell per step field.
Specify what happens when the waveform completes – select whether the output returns to the DC
value that was in effect before the waveform started, or whether the output should remain at the last
Arb value.
Specify if the Arb should repeat, either continuously or only for a specified repeat count. A repeat
count of 1 runs the Arb once.
