Importing/Exporting Arb Data - Keysight Technologies N6705C Operating And Service Manual

It takes a few milliseconds for the instrument to be ready to receive a trigger signal after receiving the
INITiate:TRANsient command. If a trigger occurs before the trigger system is ready for it, the trigger
will be ignored. You can test the WTG_tran bit in the operation status register to know when the
instrument is ready to receive a trigger after being initiated.
To query the WTG_tran bit (bit 4):
STAT:OPER:COND? (@1)
If a bit value of 16 is returned in the query, the WTG_tran bit is true, and the instrument is ready to
receive the trigger signal. Refer to the N6705 Programmer's Reference Help file for more information.
Unless INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient is programmed, it will be necessary to initiate
the transient trigger system each time a triggered action is desired.
To trigger the Arb if the trigger source is BUS:
*TRG
As previously discussed, a trigger can also be generated by a trigger signal applied to the rear panel
trigger input BNC connector. If this is configured as the trigger source, the instrument will wait
indefinitely for the trigger signal. If the trigger does not occur, you must manually return the trigger
system to the idle state.
If the trigger does not occur, and you wish to cancel the arbitrary waveform, send
ABOR:TRAN
When a trigger is received, the Arb runs. When the Arb completes, the trigger system returns to the
idle state. You can test the TRAN_active bit in the operation status register to know when the transient
trigger system has returned to the idle state.
To query the TRAN_active bit (bit 6):
STAT:OPER:COND? (@1)
If a bit value of 64 is returned in the query, the TRAN_active bit is true, and the Arb has NOT completed.
When the TRAN_active bit is false, the Arb has completed. Refer to the N6705 Programmer's
Reference Help file for more information.

Importing/Exporting Arb Data

You can only import and export User-Defined and Constant-Dwell Arb Data.
You can create an arbitrary waveform in a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and import it into the
instrument using the Import function as previously explained in this section under
Defined Properties and Configuring Constant-Dwell
arbitrary waveform from the instrument to a spreadsheet.
