Command Description SCPI
:DEFine ,
LOOP, Programs the LOOP sequence command into the
selected sequence at . The LOOP sequence
command, together with its associated value
and the
NEXT sequence command, provides a means of
repeating a set of sequence steps for a defined number
of times. All sequence steps that exist between the
LOOP sequence command and the NEXT sequence
command shall be executed for number of
times. It is recommended that the
LOOP command and
its corresponding NEXT command be in the same
named sequence; nevertheless, they may be in different
named sequences. The ability to place these two
commands in different named sequences allows for the
chaining of a number of named sequences together
using the
GOTO command, and then to put a loop
around that entire chain to be repeated a number of
times. The
LOOP NEXT command pair does support
nesting to 10 deep, and the count value must be
between 0 and 65535.
C
:DEFine
,NEXT Programs the NEXT sequence command into the
selected sequence at . The NEXT command
must follow a matching LOOP command. The NEXT
command causes sequence execution to resume at the
matching
LOOP command, with a count decreased by 1.
C
:DEFine
,STOP Programs the STOP sequence command into the
selected sequence at . This sequence
command causes sequence execution to stop while the
unit remains at the state of the last command within the
sequence. This command is valid for steps 1 thru 21.
When the
PROG:MALLOCATE DEFAULT command is
used, a STOP command is automatically loaded into
step 21 of that new sequence. This STOP may be
overwritten to become a RETURN or GOTO command.
C
:DEFine
,GOTO,”name” Programs the GOTO sequence command into the
selected sequence at . During sequence
execution, the effect of this sequence command is to
cause execution to transfer to the beginning of the
sequence named “name”. This step is valid for steps 1
thru 21. The name must be in double quotes. See the
PROG:NAME “name” command for how sequences may
be given user defined names.
C
:DEFine
,PAUSE Programs the PAUSE sequence command into the
selected sequence at . During sequence
execution the effect of this command is to cause
execution to suspend until a
RESUME command is
issued to resume execution. This step is valid for steps
1 thru 20.
C
:DEFine? Queries the selected sequence for the program
contents at step . The response will read back
the step type and defined parameters when
programmed. The resolution is defined by the step
type.
C
:DELete Program Delete subsystem C
