No. of Times to Execute
Use this field to enter a repetition factor for pattern generation. This
value specifies how many times the pattern buffer is output to the GPIB
each time you enable the Pattern Generator.
Valid repetition factors range from 1 to 65535 (default = 1).
Example:
If the Pattern Buffer source is
INPUT
WINDOW
and the
window contains the string "abcde", entering the value 4 in
this field and typing <Alt-G> causes the sequence
"abcdeabcdeabcdeabcde" to be output to the GPIB.
Clear Switches When Done
Use this field to specify whether to reset all switches in the Monitor
window to OFF at the end of a pattern generation sequence. There are
two options.
•
yes
(clear all switches)
•
no
(leave switches as last set)
Selecting
yes
causes the GPIB-410 to stop asserting all lines on the
GPIB after the Pattern Generator successfully completes its output. If a
DOS shell is active when the Pattern Generator completes, asserted
lines are not cleared until you exit the shell and return to the
GPIB410
program.
Selecting
no
causes the lines asserted by the last pattern placed on the
bus to remain asserted until you explicitly clear them in the Monitor
window or you start the Pattern Generator again.
Send EOI with Last Byte
Use this field to specify whether to assert the EOI line with the last byte
output at the end of a pattern generation sequence. This field is valid
for
INPUT
WINDOW
operation only. There are two options
•
yes
(send EOI)
