Operating the DC Power Analyzer 3
Model N6705A User’s Guide 45
Using the Arbitrary Waveform Generator
The DC Power Analyzer lets you generate arbitrary waveforms (Arb)
on any output. When the arbitrary waveform runs, the front panel
voltage and current controls as well as any remote voltage and
current commands are ignored until after the Arb completes. To
program an arbitrary waveform:
1. Select the arbitrary waveform that you wish to run.
2. Configure the parameters of the selected Arb.
3. Select the Arb trigger source.
4. Select Meter view or Scope view to display the Arb measurement.
5. Trigger the arbitrary waveform.
Select the Arbitrary Waveform
Press the Arb key to access the Arb Preview window. This lets you
view all of the arbitrary waveforms that have been configured.
Arbitrary waveforms are configured in the Arb Selection window.
Press the Arb key again or press the Properties key to access the Arb
Selection window.
Navigate to and select one of the Output Types listed: Sine, Step,
Pulse, Ramp, Trapezoid, Staircase, Exponential, or User Defined
Voltage or Current. To configure the parameters of the Arb, press the
Properties key or select the Arb Properties button.
Select No Arb Configured if you do not wish to configure an
Arbitrary waveform for the selected output. In this case, the output
will continue to respond to the conventional output voltage and
current controls. To configure arbitrary waveforms for other outputs,
select a different output using the Select Output keys.
