Sequence Generator Operation
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 command 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.
