List data is not stored in non-volatile memory. This means that list data that is sent to
the instrument either from the front panel or over the bus will be lost when the power
system is turned off. However, list data can be saved as part of a saved instrument
state. Refer to Instrument State Storage .
Program an Output Pulse or Pulse Train
The following procedure shows how to generate an output pulse train using the List function as
illustrated in the following figure.
Step 1. Set the voltage, current, power, or resistance function for which you want to generate a pulse
to List mode. This example programs a voltage pulse. Resistance and Power modes apply to
. The parameters apply to the selected Arb type (Voltage, Current, Power, or Resistance).
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\Mode.
Set the voltage mode to List. Then press Select.
To program output 1, use
VOLT:MODE LIST,(@1)
Step 2. Set the amplitude and width of the pulse. For example, to generate a pulse with an amplitude
of 15 V and a pulse width of 1 second, use:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select List Step 0 and enter a voltage value of 15. Then
press Select.
Enter a dwell value of 1 for List Step 0. Then press
Select.
To program output 1, use
LIST:VOLT 15,(@1)
LIST:DWEL 1,(@1)
Step 3. Set the list pacing to Auto, so that as each dwell time elapses, the next step is immediately
output.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\List\Pace.
Select Dwell paced. Then press Select.
LIST:STEP AUTO,(@1)
If you only wish to program a single pulse, skip steps 4 and 5 and go to step 6.
