CAUTION
The above command will destroy sequences
previously loaded into memory.
High Speed
Sequence
Downloads
In cases where large numbers of sequence steps must be
downloaded to the 3152A (e.g., >50), for higher overall
throughput (e.g., 5x-10x improvement) it is recommended that
SEQ:DATA be used instead of a series of SEQ:DEF commands
(described in the above section). The SEQ:DATA command
takes the place of a series of SEQ:DEF commands by packing
all relevent data into a IEEE-STD-488.2 Definite Length
Arbitrary Block Data Format packet.
The format of the command is:
SEQuence:DATA#<header><binary
data>
and the header structure is:
Nnnnn
where N = how many digits follow within the header and nnnn is
a decimal number (base 10) defining how many bytes of binary
data will follow. The header is formatted in ASCII numbers. The
number of bytes must be a multiple of 5. Each 5 bytes define
one step and its associated looping.
Header examples:
41000
(1000 bytes in binary format to follow)
510000
(10000 bytes in binary format to follow)
The byte structure of one 5-byte step (there can be up to 4096
steps) of the Binary Data section is:
2 bytes:
Segment #
3 bytes:
Number of Repeats
