Step 4. If you want to generate a pulse train, you must specify the off time between pulses. To do this
you must program another step. For a voltage list, you must specify an amplitude and an off time. For
example, to program an off time of 2 seconds with an amplitude of 0 V between pulses, use:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select List Step 1 and enter a voltage value of 0. Then
press Select.
Enter a dwell value of 2 for List Step 1. Then press
Select.
To program output 1, use
LIST:VOLT 15,0,@1)
LIST:DWEL 1,2,(@1)
Step 5. To generate a pulse train, you can simply repeat the pulse as needed. For example, to
program a pulse train of 50 pulses, use:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\List\Repeat.
Enter the number of list repetitions (50). Then press
Select.
To program output 1, use
LIST:COUN 50,(@1)
Step 6. Specify if you want the output pulse to generate a trigger signal that can be used to trigger
actions on other output channels or on any external equipment connected to the digital port. For
example, to generate a trigger signal at the end of the pulse, use:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select List Step 0 and enter a value of 1 in the Tout end
step field. Then press Select.
To program a trigger at the End of the pulse for output
1, use
LIST:TOUT:EOST 1,0(@1)
You must program a value of 0 (no trigger) for step 1 as
a placeholder.
Step 7. Specify the output state after the pulse has completed. For example, to return the output to
the state it was in before the pulse, use:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\List\Terminate.
Select Return to start settings. Then press Select.
To program output 1, use
LIST:TERM:LAST 0, (@1)
Step 8. Select the trigger source that will generate the pulse or pulse train.
Select a trigger source from the following:
l Bus Selects GPIB device trigger, *TRG, or <GET> (Group Execute Trigger).
l Imm An immediate trigger command either from the front panel or over the bus will generate an
immediate trigger.
