:RECorder#:RUN
Syntax:
:RECorder#:RUN <prebits>,<postbits>
Starts the pattern recorder. Note that the recorder won’t actually record anything unless an assigned
event was fired.
If you want the recorder to start recording
immediately
after this command, you must assign it an
immediate event (see page 60).
Example command:
REC0:RUN 100,20
:RECorder#:STOP
Syntax:
:RECorder#:STOP
Stops the pattern recorder.
Example command:
REC0:STOP
:RECorder#:STATus?
Syntax:
:RECorder#:STATus?
Returns the current state of the pattern recorder. Possible return values:
•
STOPped
: the recorder is currently not running
•
PREData
: the recorder has not triggered yet,
i.e.
it is still trying to acquire data before the
trigger output
•
POSTdata
: the recorder has triggered, but hasn’t recorded enough data yet,
i.e.
it is still
trying to acquire data after the trigger point
•
DONE
: the recorder has finished recording, the pattern is ready to be downloaded
Example query:
REC0:STAT?
Example response:
DONE
:RECorder#:DOWNload?
Syntax:
:RECorder#:DOWN? [<BLOCkdata|BINarystring>]
Downloads the recorded pattern. The pattern can be returned either as a quoted string in binary
(only characters
0
and
1
) or as block data (see also section “Block Data” on page 31).
For binary data, the left-most bit in the returned string represents the bit that was first recorded. For
block data, the MSB of the left-most character in the result represents the bit that was first recorded.
Example query:
REC0:DOWN? BIN
Example response:
"010100001111001100001111"
:RECorder#:DOWNload:BITS?
Syntax:
:RECorder#:DOWN:BITS?
Returns the number of bits in the recorded pattern.
Example query:
REC0:DOWN:BITS?
Example response:
1000
