4 Operating the Power System
Configuring User-Defined Arbs
User-Defined Arbs can only be programed using SCPI commands. Refer to User-
Defined commands in the Operating and Service Guide document.
Resistance and Powerntypes apply to
selected Arb type (Voltage, Current, Power, or Resistance).

Configuring Steps Common to all Arbs
Step 4. Specify what happens when the Arb completes.
Select whether the output returns to the DC value that was in effect before the Arb started, or
whether the output should remain at the last Arb value.
Front Panel Menu Reference
Select Transient\Arb\Terminate.
Specify Return to start setting or Stop at last Arb setting.
Then press Select.
Step 5. Specify the repeat count of the Arb.
Specify if the Arb should repeat, either continuously (INFinity), or only for a specified repeat count. A

Select Transient\Arb\Repeat.
Specify a repeat count, or run the Arb continuously. Then

SCPI Command
To set up the Arb type (current, voltage, power, or resistance) and shape, use:
ARB:FUNC:TYPE VOLT|CURR|POW|RES,(@1)
ARB:FUNC:SHAP UDEF,(@1)
To specify the voltage value of five steps:
ARB:VOLT:UDEF:LEV 1,2,3,4,5,(@1)
To specify the time that the output stays at the voltage steps:
ARB:VOLT:UDEF:DWEL 1,2,3,2,1,(@1)
To generate an external trigger signal at the start of a voltage step
(the trigger is generated at the start of step #3):
ARB:VOLT:UDEF:BOST 0,0,1,0,0,(@1)
SCPI Command
To specify a setting when the Arb ends, use:
ARB:TERM:LAST OFF,(@1)
SCPI Command
To specify an Arb count, use:
ARB:COUN 1,(@1)
