specified.
Ϯ ON Causes the entire STEP to be executed immediately, paced by its dwell delays. As
each dwell delay elapses, the next point is immediately executed.
Ϯ ONCE Causes the STEP to advance only one point after each trigger. Triggers that arrive
during a dwell delay are ignored
Ϯ AUTO
Causes the entire STEP to be executed sequentially after the starting trigger, paced
by its dwell delays. As each dwell delay elapses, the next point is immediately executed.

[SOURce:]STEP:VOLTage[:LEVel]
This command specifies the voltage setting for each STEP step.
Command Syntax
STEP:VOLTage
Parameters
MIN | MAX
Query Syntax
STEP:VOLTage?
Parameters
Returned Parameters
[SOURce:]STEP:VOLTage:TIMe?
This command specifies the dwell time for each STEP step. Each value of point represents the time in
milli-seconds that the input will remain at the particular STEP step point before completing the step. At
the end of the dwell time, the input of the electronic load depends upon the following conditions:
Ϯ If
STEP:VOLTage:STATe On or STEP:VOLT:STATe AUTO has been programmed, the
input automatically changes to the next point in the STEP.
Ϯ If
STEP:VOLTage:STATe ONCE has been programmed, the input remains at the
present level until a trigger sequences the next point in the STEP.

[SOURce:]STEP:VOLTage:STATe
This command specifies how to process the STEP sequencing. The following parameters may be
specified.
Ϯ ON Causes the entire STEP to be executed immediately, paced by its dwell delays. As
each dwell delay elapses, the next point is immediately executed.
