Program an Output Pulse or Pulse Train

The following procedure shows how to generate an output pulse train using the List function.

Trigger
0	1 Off	List Count = 1+additional pulses
Pulse width	time

Step 1. Set the voltage or current function for which you want to generate a pulse to List mode. This example programs a voltage pulse.

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select Transient\Mode. Set the	To program output 1, use
voltage mode to List. Press Select.	VOLT:MODE LIST, (@1)

Step 2. Set the amplitude and width of the pulse. For example, to generate a pulse with an amplitude of 15 V and a pulse width of 1 second, use:

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select Transient\List\Config.	To program output 1, use
Select List Step 0 and enter a	LIST:VOLT 15, (@1)
voltage value of 15. Press Select.	LIST:DWEL 1, (@1)
Enter a dwell value of 1 for List
Step 0 and Press Select.

Step 3. Set the list pacing to Auto, so that as each dwell time elapses, the next step is immediately output.

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select Transient\List\Pace.	LIST:STEP AUTO, (@1)
Select Dwell and press Select.

If you only wish to program a single pulse, skip steps 4 and 5 and go to step 6.

Step 4. If you want to generate a pulse train, you must specify the off time between pulses. To do this you must program another step. For a voltage list, you must specify an amplitude and an off time. For example, to program an off time of 2 seconds with an amplitude of 0 V between pulses, use:

Front Panel:	SCPI Command:
Select Transient\List\Config.	To program output 1, use
Select List Step 1 and enter a	LIST:VOLT 15,0, (@1)
voltage value of 0. Press Select.	LIST:DWEL 1,2, (@1)
Enter a dwell value of 2 for List
Step 1 and Press Select.
