STORE
STORE
COMMAND
Stores a delay setting and stepper motor rate pair into the First-
In-First-Out (FIFO) stack of pre-stored delay settings. There is
a maximum of 100 items in the FIFO stack.
Command
Syntax
STORE
delay rate
delay
= desired delay in picoseconds.
Must be between >=0 and <= 625.0.
NOTE: The PDL-100A is capable of 0.5 ps step
resolution, e.g. enter a delay of 312.5 for a setting of
312.5 ps. Do not specify a trailing zero, e.g. 312.50.
rate
= stepper motor rate.
Must be integer >= 100 and <= 550.
Note: if rate is set to 0, the delay setting will be
ignored. Use STORE 0 -1 to clear the FIFO stack.
Example
STORE 525.5 300
Returns
None
Programming
Example
HP : OUTPUT 705;"STORE 525.50 300”<NL>
NI : CWGPIB.Write “STORE 525.50 300”
NOTE: Use the STORE command to pre-load delay settings into a FIFO stack. The
EXEC command will execute the delay and motor rate settings from the next item in
the stack.
