Command Reference
PA
The PA command pauses the command execution or internal memory program
execution, until the specified wait time has elapsed or until an event specified by the
TM command is received. The event set by the TM command only releases the
paused status. It does not start the measurement.
Syntax PA [wait time]
Parameters wait time : -99.9999 to 99.9999 seconds, with 100 μsec resolution. Numeric
expression.
If wait time is not specified or negative wait time is set, the paused
status is kept until receiving an event specified by the TM command.
Remarks The TM3 command enables an external trigger from the Ext Trig In terminal as an
event used to break the pause state set by the PA command.
The E5260/E5270 counts the wait time independent of the source wait time and the
measurement wait time set by the WAT command. So the wait time can cover them
as shown in the following program example:
OUTPUT @E5270;"CN";1
OUTPUT @E5270;"WAT";1,0,1E-3 !Source Wait Time =1ms
OUTPUT @E5270;"WAT";2,0,1E-3 !Meas Wait Time =1ms
OUTPUT @E5270;"DV";1,0,5,1E-2
OUTPUT @E5270;"PA";1E-3 !Wait Time =1ms
OUTPUT @E5270;"TI";1
ENTER @E5270 USING "#,3X,12D,X";Idata
Example
Statements
OUTPUT @E5270;"PA 10"
