Operation
Auto Sequencing
Operation
To run, stop or pause a sequence, use the following command:
PROGram:STATe [RUNPAUSeSTOP]
•Once the programmed sequence has been selected, you can start it by setting the state to RUN, by sending the command PROG:STAT RUN.
•At any time you can pause the sequence by sending PROG:STAT PAUS.
A paused sequence will cause the supply to hold the output levels at the setpoints programmed by the current step. To resume, set the state to RUN again.
•To end the sequence operation, send the command PROG:STAT STOP. Sending RUN will restart the auto sequence program from the first step.
•You can query the state of the selected auto sequence program with
PROG:STAT?
Trigger
If the auto sequence was programmed to wait for a trigger, the power supply holds the output levels at the programmed setpoints until a trigger is received. It then advances to the next step. A trigger must come from the selected trigger source, which may be the GPIB bus, a SCPI command or the user lines.
Skipping a Step
To advance the sequence to the next step, send the command:
PROGram:STEP:NEXT
Querying Operation
You can query the step number that is currently operating:
PROGram:STEP:EXEC?
You can also query the number of times the sequence has executed:
PROGram:REP:EXEC?
Exiting Auto Sequence Operation
To exit auto sequence operation and return to normal operation, send the command:
PROGram:EXIT
