ments in a single waveform provided the generated points fit in the array. See paragraph 3.5.7.2
for an explanation of how a waveform is generated by the BOP.
The following paragraphs provide guidance for using the list commands.
3.7.3.3.1 REQUIRED LIST COMMANDS
There are only five LIST commands, plus either the VOLT:MODE (PAR. B.94) or CURR:MODE
(PAR. B.27) command, that are needed to create and execute a list. Use of these required com-
mands is illustrated in Figure B-6 which shows the creation of sawtooth and triangular wave-
forms. LIST commands are not accepted while a list is running. Send VOLT:MODE FIX (PAR.
B.94) or CURR:MODE FIX (PAR. B.27) to stop the list. A list remains in memory until the power
is cycled or the LIST:CLEar (PAR. B.49) command is processed. Therefore, if the original list is
unchanged, additional commands can be added to the end of the list without resending all the
commands. However, to change parameters of one or more commands within the list, send
LIST:CLEAR and then resend the entire list including the changed parameters. To execute the
list again, either VOLT:MODE LIST (PAR. B.94) or CURR:MODE LIST (PAR. B.27) must be sent
again.
LIST:VOLT (PAR. B.77) or LIST:CURR (PAR. B.54). These commands establish the points
(steps) of a list which program output voltage or current. A list can only be either a voltage list or
a current list, so the points in a list must be made with either LIST:VOLT XXXX or LIST:CURR
XXXX. Mixing of these commands within a list is not allowed.
LIST:CLEAR (PAR. B.49). Always precede a new list with this command. A list remains in mem-
ory until the power is cycled or the LIST:CLEAR command is processed.
LIST:DWELL (PAR. B.60). Defines the dwell time for each point in a list. In many instances it is
easier to use one dwell time and repeat a specific point multiple times to generate longer dura-
tion pulses. Remember, if more than one LIST:DWELL is sent, there must be a LIST:DWELL for
each voltage or current point in the list.
LIST:COUNT (PAR. ) Defines how many times a list is executed. 0 equals indefinite; when a
count of 0 is used, either *RST, VOLT:MODE FIX or CURR:MODE FIX must be used to stop the
list. *RST will cause the output to be set off and the unit is set to Voltage mode. VOLT:MODE
FIX or CURR:MODE FIX stops the list immediately; the point being executed when the list is
stopped will be present at the BOP output.
3.7.3.3.2 OTHER REQUIRED COMMANDS
VOLT:MODE LIST (PAR. B.94) or CURR:MODE LIST (PAR. B.27). These commands start the
list and VOLT:MODE FIX (PAR. B.94) or CURR:MODE FIX (PAR. B.27) stop the list. LIST com-
mands are not accepted while a list is running. If LIST:COUNT is between 1 and 255, when the
count decrements to 0, the list stops and the unit automatically moves to VOLT:MODE FIXED or
CURR:MODE FIXED state. To execute the list again, either VOLT:MODE LIST or CURR:MODE
LIST must be sent again.
3.7.3.3.3 OTHER USEFUL COMMANDS
LIST:COUNT:Skip (PAR. B.53). This command provides the ability to execute the initial points
only once whenever a list is run. It is used to set initial preconditions prior to running a repetitive
sequence.
