Note: For model 4078, nothing changes in the commands above to control channel 1. But for channel 2, change
:ARB to :ARB2. For example, to change channel 2 to ARB mode with a predefined square wave from
address 1 with length of 2000 and scale factor of 50%, first send the command for channel to go into
arbitrary waveform mode (SOUR2:FUNC ARB), then send the command: ARB2:PRED SQU,1,2000,50 .
When sending or receiving large waveforms with any software or custom programmed applications, please
allow AT LEAST 15 seconds or more after the process is completed on the PC before pressing any front
panel keys to return to local mode. The instrument requires this extra time to completely receive or send
the waveform.
4.13.4.1 Point Rate
ARBitrary:PRATe <point rate>
This command is used to set the point rate. It is coupled with the frequency of the waveform by the relation:
Frequency = 1/(Point Rate * Wavelength)
Thus changing the point rate will result in a change in frequency.
