[:ADDRess] <numeric value>
:STATe <Boolean>
:LENGth <numeric value>
:SAVe
Note: For model 4079, 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.
Arguments
Type: Numeric
Units: S, mS, uS, nS
Range: 8nS to 100S
Rounding: to 4 digits
Command Type: Setting or Query
Setting
Syntax: :ARBitrary:PRATe<ws><point rate>[units]
:ARBitrary:PRATe<ws>MINimum|MAXimum
Examples: :ARB:PRAT 100NS
Query
Syntax: :ARBitrary:PRATe?[<ws>MINimum|MAXimum]
Response: NR3
4.13.4.2 Address
:ARBitrary:ADDRess <address>
This command sets the current address of the waveform. It is used to determine where arbitrary data are to be written. Use
this command when querying data points using ARB:DATA? After generating data points.
Arguments
Type: Numeric
Range: 1 to 4,000,000
Rounding: to integer value
Command Type: Setting or Query
Setting
Syntax: :ARBitrary:ADDRess<ws><address>
:ARBitrary:ADDRess<ws>MINimum|MAXimum
Examples: :ARB:ADDR 100
Query
Syntax: :ARBitrary:ADDRess?[<ws>MINimum|MAXimum]
