Sequence Generator Operation (Option)
Sequence Generator Operation (Option)
The following section applies for both RS-232 and GPIB. The sequence generator option must be
installed at the factory in order to utilize the following features.
ADDSEQUENCE [ADDSEQ] adds to the specific sequence file, one or more sequence steps. This is
the only way to modify an existing sequence file using GPIB or RS-232 once it has been entered. The
first parameter is the sequence file to be modified. After the first parameter, the following parameters
always come in triplets.
The first of these three being the number of the waveform to be sequenced. The second is the number of
times this waveform will be repeated, and the third indicates the sequence step # for that waveform.
Example:
Assume that sequence file #10 already exists and steps 35 and 53 are NOT used. The following com-
mand will add two steps (35 and 53) to sequence #10. Step #35 will be wave #3 repeated 5 times. Step
#53 will be wave #2 repeated 4 times.
WVFM:ADDSEQ 10,3,5,35,2,4,53
AUTOSEQUENCE [AUTO] configures the automatic sequence step number generator by setting the
sequence step number to start at first parameter and the increment value for the following sequence step
numbers. This command is used for the SEQUENCE [SEQ] and SEQBURST [SEQB] commands only.
Example:
The following command will start numbering the sequence steps at 10 and increment them by 10, i.e.,
the first sequence step will be 10, the second sequence step will be 20, etc.
WVFM:AUTO 10,10
SEQUENCE [SEQ] makes a new sequence file, DELETING the existing sequence file if one already
exists. The first parameter is the sequence file to create. The following parameters are the waves that are
to be sequenced. For the SEQUENCE [SEQ] command, the Burst count (the number of times the
wave is repeated) is always set to one. If no waves are supplied, then this command will only delete the
specified waveform. The AUTO command is used in conjunction with this command.
