Command Reference
Command Reference
PAX
The PAX 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.
Execution
Conditions
The port parameter is meaningful only for the event (trigger input) set by the TM3
command. Set 1 (dummy) for the event set by the TM1, TM2, or TM4 command.
Syntax PAX port[,wait time]
Parameters port : External trigger input port number. Integer expression. -1, or 1 to 16.
-1: Ext Trig In terminal.
1 to 16: Port 1 to 16 of the digital I/O terminal.
To use a digital I/O port, send the TGP command. The port value must
be same as the port value set to the TGP command.
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 a trigger input terminal
specified by the port parameter 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;"PAX";-1,1E-3 !Wait Time =1ms
OUTPUT @E5270;"TI";1
ENTER @E5270 USING "#,3X,12D,X";Idata
Example
Statements
OUTPUT @E5270;"PAX 1,10"
