[SOURce:]ARB:CURRent:CDWell:DWELl?
[SOURce:]ARB:POWer:CDWell:DWELl <value>
[SOURce:]ARB:POWer:CDWell:DWELl?
[SOURce:]ARB:VOLTage:CDWell:DWELl <value>
[SOURce:]ARB:VOLTage:CDWell:DWELl?
Specifies the dwell time of each point in the Arb. Values are in seconds and are rounded to the nearest
10.24-microsecond increment.
Current, power, and voltage Arbs share settings, so setting this parameter for a current Arb changes
the voltage Arb and power Arb dwell values and vice versa.
Parameter
0.00001024 – 0.30,
*RST is 1 point with a value of 0.001
Programs a constant dwell time of 0.2 seconds: ARB:CURR:CDW:DWEL 0.2
You can program dwell times that are much faster than the response time of the instrument. The
l
"extra" points and dwell times can serve the purpose of smoothing the resultant waveshape.
[SOURce:]ARB:CURRent:CDWell:POINts?
[SOURce:]ARB:POWer:CDWell:POINts?
[SOURce:]ARB:VOLTage:CDWell:POINts?
Returns the number of points in the Arb.
Parameter
(none)
Returns the number of current points in the Arb: ARB:CURR:CDW:POIN?
[SOURce:]ARB:FUNCtion:TYPE CURRent|POWer|VOLTage
[SOURce:]ARB:FUNCtion:TYPE?
Specifies either a current, power, voltage Arb. Only one type of Arb may be output at a time. The
selection must match the priority mode.
Parameter
CURRent|POWer|VOLTage, *RST VOLTage
Specifies a voltage Arb: ARB:FUNC:TYPE VOLT
190
Typical Return
