Arb Sequence Parameters
Parameter: Description:
Step <n> Each step of the sequence includes a step number, an arbitrary waveform, step
time, and pacing option. The total number of steps determines the length. Use the
▲ ▼ navigation keys to scroll through the steps.
Name The name of the Arb. Select an Arb from the dropdown list. Select Edit or
Properties to edit the waveform. The Pulse waveform edit fields are shown above.
Time Displays the time that is allocated to the step in the Edit function. This time does
not include the number of repeat counts.
Pacing Displays the pacing of the step. Dwell-paced transitions to the next step when the
dwell time has elapsed. Trigger-paced transitions to the next step when an
external trigger is received. If the step time completes before the trigger occurs,
the step remains at the last Arb value while waiting for the trigger.
Add Inserts a step below the selected step; values are copied from the previous step.
Delete Deletes the presently selected step.
Edit
Edits the selected Arb. The Pulse waveform edit fields are shown above. Move to
the next step specifies the step pacing. Repeat count specifies how many times
the Arb repeats. Continuous can only be selected if the Arb is trigger-paced.
Up
Move up through the steps.
Down Move down through the steps.
Loads (.seq format) Loads a previously created sequence file.
Save (.seq format) Saves the present voltage or current sequence.
Total time Indicates the total run-time of the sequence.
Waveform Quality Indicates the number of points allocated to the continuously changing portion of
the following waveforms: sine, trapezoid, ramp, and exponential. The more of
these waveforms that are added to the sequence, the fewer points will be
allocated, down to a minimum of 16 points.
Advanced
Lets you edit the common properties that apply to the entire sequence. See
“Configure the Common Properties”.
