8.21 :STABle Subsystem
Use this subsystem to directly manipulate the sequencer table. This is necessary
when full control of the sequence capabilities is desired. Unlike the SEQuence
subsystem, the STABle subsystem also supports scenarios, idle delay commands and
configuration segment entries.
Follow these steps for all function modes:
First create waveform data segments in the module memory like described in the
“Arbitrary Waveform Generation” paragraph of the “TRACe subsystem”.
Create sequence table entries that refer to the waveform segments using the
STAB[1|2]:DATA command.
The next steps depend on the selected mode:
8.21.1 Generating arbitrary waveforms in dynamic mode
Select the sequence table entry that describes the segment that will be executed
first, before any dynamic segment selection, using the TRAC[1|2]:SEL command.
Select dynamic mode using the command STAB[1|2]:DYN ON.
Before starting signal generation with INIT:IMM[1|2] select the arbitrary
waveform mode using the FUNC:MODE ARB command.
8.21.2 Generating sequences in non-dynamic mode
Select the sequence table entry that describes the first segment in your sequence
using the STAB[1|2]:SEQ:SEL command.
Select non-dynamic mode using the command STAB[1|2]:DYN OFF.
Before starting signal generation with INIT:IMM[1|2] select the sequence mode
using the FUNC:MODE STS command.
8.21.3 Generating sequences in dynamic mode
Select the sequence table entry that describes the first segment in your sequence
that will be executed first, before any dynamic sequence selection, using the
STAB[1|2]:SEQ:SEL command.
Select dynamic mode using the command STAB[1|2]:DYN ON.
Before starting signal generation with INIT:IMM[1|2] select the sequence mode
using the FUNC:MODE STS command.
