Front Panel:

SCPI Command:

Select Transient\List\Pace.

LIST:STEP AUTO, (@1)

Select Dwell-paced. Press Select.

 

In a trigger-paced list, the list advances one step for each trigger received. To enable trigger-paced lists, select Trigger-paced on the front panel menu. (Set the LIST:STEP command to ONCE.)

The dwell time associated with each step determines the minimum time that the output remains at the step. If a trigger is received before the dwell time completes, the trigger is ignored. To ensure that no triggers are lost in a trigger-paced list, set the dwell time to zero.

Step 5. Specify if you want the list to generate trigger signals that can be used to trigger actions on other output channels or on external equipment connected to the digital port.

Step 6. Specify how you want the list to terminate. For example, if you want the list to remain at the values of the last list step when finished, use:

Front Panel:

SCPI Command:

Select Transient\List\Terminate.

To program output 1, use

Select Stop Last Step. Press Select.

LIST:TERM:LAST 1, (@1)

Step 7. If applicable, specify how many times you want the list to repeat. Sending the INFinity parameter in the SCPI command makes the list repeat indefinitely. At reset, the list count is set to 1.

Front Panel:

SCPI Command:

Select the Transient\List\Repeat.

To program the output 1 list to repeat

Enter the number of list repetitions

2 times, use

(2) and Press Select.

LIST:COUN 2, (@1)

Step 8. Select a trigger source, initiate, and trigger the list. This is described in detail under "Synchronizing Output Steps".
