Generate waveform via GPIB in CAPL


I have a simulation that generates a waveform using a Power Supply Controlled using a GPIB interface. The problem with this is that the waveform frequency is limited by the speed of the PC/Power Supply response, since it generates each point by a VOLT command (SCPI).

I have heard that you can upload CSV files to an Agilent PS (N7973A) via GPIB and execute it. How is that possible? Is there a dll or a SCPI command that can be used to do so?


Solution

  • yes, look at "Programming an Arbitrary Waveform" (manual p.105) and [SOURce:]ARB commands (p.271)
