4.9.2 Arbitrary Subsystem

The Arbitrary subsystem is not part of the SCPI

standard. It was developed to suit the needs of the

instrument. Within this subsystem are found

commands to:

1) control the point rate, start address, wavelength,

and synchronization pulse address;

2) set values of the arbitrary waveform, either

discretely or using predefined, copy or draw

functions;

3) protect an area of waveform memory;

4) set the state of the automatic update and

increment features;

5) update the waveform.

The following shows the structure of the ARBitrary

subsystem:

:ARBitrary

:PRATe <numeric value>

:ADDRess <numeric value>

:DATA <numeric value>|<arbitrary block>

:DRAW <numeric value>,<numeric value>

:PREDefined

<shape>,<start>,<address>,<length>,<scale>
