Hi,

The ARB uses the standard transient system to trigger. Here is an snippet that I wrote in VB 6.0:

    With Instrument
        ' Send a power reset to the instrument
        .WriteString "*RST"
        .WriteString "*CLS"

        ' Query the instrument for the IDN string
        .WriteString "*IDN?"
        IDN = .ReadString

        ' Set the arb up
        .WriteString "TRIG:TRAN:SOUR BUS,(@1)"
        .WriteString "VOLT:MODE ARB, (@1)"
        .WriteString "ARB:FUNC:TYPE VOLT" & channel
        .WriteString "ARB:FUNC:SHAP UDEF" & channel
        .WriteString "ARB:VOLT:UDEF:LEV " & arbValues & channel
        .WriteString "ARB:VOLT:UDEF:DWEL " & arbTimes & channel
        .WriteString "CURR 0.5" & channel
        .WriteString "OUTP ON" & channel
        .WriteString "INIT:TRAN (@1)"
        .WriteString "*TRG"
    End With

Let me know how it works.
