3-52 ArbConnection

The Main Panel

The Main Panel, as shown in Figure 3-3, is the first panel you see
after invoking ArbConnection. If you press the Exit button on the main
panel, you’ll be exiting the program completely. Notice how buttons
and LED’s are grouped; this is done specifically so that common
parameters are placed in functional groups. The Main Panel groups
allow (from left to right) adjustment of amplitude and offset, selecting
the waveform type, selecting the operating mode, controlling the
SYNC output, controlling the backplane trigger line outputs and
turning ON, or OFF the main output.

If you are connected properly to the PCI bus and ArbConnection has
detected this link and placed the address in its Link field, then every
time you press a button, you are getting an immediate action on the
PXA125. It is different if you are changing parameters on the display;
Doing this, you’ll have to press the Execute button for the command
to update the instrument.

HINT

If your instrument has not been detected
automatically, or if you connected the PXA125 only
after you invoked the program, you can still detect
your instrument by selecting the Refresh
Communication from the System command. You
can always work offline if you just want to explore
