Sequences
This section gives information on defining and executing a
sequence
, which is a
compiled series of SCPI commands stored in non-volatile memory and identified
by a user-defined name. Sequences can be used in a variety of applications, such
as creating a signal path from a device-under-test to a measurement device or
sequencing relays in a specified order. You can also uses sequences in
conjunction with other operations to configure and synchronize complex
measurements without having to send the routing commands each time.
The following tables summarizes the commands used to define, execute, and
manage sequences. For more information, see the Keysight 34980A
Programmer’s Reference
Help file.
Sequence Definition
ROUTe:SEQuence:DEFine <
