Command
Description
SCPI
:NAME “sequence
name”
Performs one of two possible actions. Either selects an
already existing sequence for use. (See the
PROG:CAT?
command for a list of saved sequences
that may be selected.) Or provides a name for a new
sequence. The action that is performed depends upon
the “sequence name” and whether is already exists in
sequence memory or not. A sequence name must not
be longer than 15 characters. After naming a new
sequence, the sequence is in the EMPTY state. The
next required action to the sequence is to use the
MALLocate
command to allocate memory for the newly
named sequence. After the
MALLocate
command is
issued, the new sequence goes from the EMPTY state
to the EDIT state.
C
:NAME?
Returns the name of the presently selected sequence.
If no sequence is presently selected, such as occurs
after a
*RST
command, then the default sequence will
be TEST01.
C
:STATe
Provides a means to change the state of a sequence.
The states that may be issued are as follows: RUN,
RESUME, PAUSE, STOP, and COMPLETE.
