Operation

Running

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.

Skipping a Step

PROGram:STEP:NEXT

Querying Operation

PROGram:STEP:EXEC?

You can query the step number that is currently operating.
