8.2.7 Program Headers
A Program Header is a mnemonic of a series of three ASCII characters used to select a function
or identify the data it precedes. The header is an abbreviation of the program function it identifies.
The header may be followed by a header extension to separately program each output (phase A,
B or C) to different values. If an extension is not added to the header all outputs will be
programmed to the header's argument. See Table 8-3 for the definition of the Program Headers
and their related arguments. Commands that are not supported on the Ls Series are noted.
Any header that is sent without an argument will cause the front display to show the closest
available corresponding screen. Note however that the Ls Series does not have identical screens
to the L Series so this feature is only partially compatible with legacy L Series programs. All
commands are accepted however and no error messages will be generated. Refer to Figure 8-1
for a summary of all possible command sequences.
The program header extension works on the trailing exception rule. This characteristic can be
used to shorten the setup string. The following example demonstrates the trailing exception rule
by programming the phase A and B outputs to the square wave waveform and phase C to a sine
wave.
