6 Input/Output
6.1 RF Source
When "Step Duration" on page 2249 is Continuous Abort, this parameter specifies
the maximum duration that the waveform will continue to play after a step trigger is
received before the transition to the next waveform will occur. Duration is limited to
a maximum of 20 seconds.
If the Transition Time value is longer than the Step Duration Time, an error is
generated when initiating a source list sequence. For source list sequence,
transition time is included in the step duration length (not occupy additional time). If
the Transition Time value is longer than the Step Duration Time, the real step
duration length is extended to equal the transition time and cause a timing shift.
Remote Command
:SOURce:LIST:STEP[1]|2|…|1000:SETup:DURation:TCOunt <double>
:SOURce:LIST:STEP[1]|2|…|1000:SETup:DURation:TCOunt?
Example
:SOUR:LIST:STEP2:SET:DUR:TCO 1s
:SOUR:LIST:STEP2:SET:DUR:TCO?
Notes When Repetition is Single, the last step continues playing after the sequence is completed. In this
extended playing time, :STAT:OPER:COND? returns 0 for the Source Sweeping Status Bit (bit 9)
SCPI is supported after A.09.40
If current Duration Type is Continuous, then error -221, "Settings conflict; Cannot accept time or
count input when step duration type is Continuous on step #" is displayed

Preset VXT models M9410A/11A/16A: 2.0 ms
All others: 1.00 ms
Min For VXT models M9410A/11A/16A, the minimum duration time for first step is 1.2 ms. If the
Waveform is “waveform name”, the minimum duration time is 1.2 ms
All others: 100 µs
Max 1800 s
Play Count
Lets you specify the number of times the current ARB waveform file will play during
a step when "Step Duration" on page 2249 is Count.
