Pulsing (Model 2430 feature)
If you are bringing code from a Model 2430 to a Model 2461, the pulsing features and commands
have changed significantly. Refer to Pulse operation (on page 3-64) for a general discussion. For
specific commands, refer to the following command descriptions:
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:<function>:<x>LIMit[:LEVel] (on page 6-104)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:<function>[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] (on page 6-105)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:LIST:<function> (on page 6-107)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:LIST:<function>:APPend (on page 6-108)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:LIST:<function>:POINts? (on page 6-109)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:SWEep:<function>:LINear (on page 6-110)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:SWEep:<function>:LINear:STEP (on page 6-113)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:SWEep:<function>:LIST (on page 6-116)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:SWEep:<function>:LOG (on page 6-118)
• :SOURce[1]:PULSe:TRain:<function> (on page 6-121)
Model 2400 to Model 2461 SCPI command cross-reference
This section provides information to help you convert existing Model 2400 SCPI code to Model 2461
SCPI code.
You must use the command set SCPI to use the new commands. See Determining the command set
you will use (on page 2-80) for information on setting the command set.
This section lists the SCPI commands that were available with the Model 2400, cross-referenced to
the equivalent commands in the Model 2461 where available. Differences between the commands
are noted. If no differences are noted, the command should operate the same on the Model 2461 as it
did in the Model 2400.
