ArbConnection
Features
4-6
The standard Windows Menu Bar is the top bar. It provides access
to main system controls like saving files, and viewing or removal of
screen images.
The second bar is called Link bar. It provides direct access to
different instruments that are active on the active interface bus.
ArbConnection can control a number of 2074 units simultaneously.
If the instruments were connected to the interface while invoking
ArbConnection, they will automatically be detected by the program
and will be placed in the Link pull-down window. The active
instrument is displayed with its associated address. If you run
ArbConnection in offline mode, the Link bar will show 2074, Offline.
The Panels toolbar, as shown in Figure 4-3, provides direct access
to instrument control panels. The individual control panels are
explained later in this chapter. The Main, Standard, Arbitrary,
Trigger and the other buttons will bring up to the screen panels that
are associated with these names. The Composers button provides
access to the Waveform and Pulse composers. The first time you
launch ArbConnection, the opening screen will have the Main panel
open. Click on other buttons and interactively get the feel how
ArbConnection opens and closes control panels.

ArbConnection's main purpose is controlling 2074 functions and
parameters. The 2074 can generate standard waveforms from a
built-in
library,
arbitrary
coordinates, modulated waveforms, digital patterns and much more.
The only way to access all of these features is through software
utilities such as Plug & Play drivers, and soft front panels.
ArbConnection is built to provide complete control over the 2074.
ArbConnection has four main screens: control panels, waveform
composers and various utility control panels. The various screen
images along with instructions how to access and use them are
described below in detail.
