Serial Command Table Functions (A bracket set […] indicates optional parameters)
T r d c f p a [c f p a]
[c f p a] [c f p a]
T Command. Enters a row into the table. Where r=row, d=dwell, c=channel, f=frequency,
p=phase and a=amplitude. One channel set consisting of ‘c f p a’ values is required. Up to
three additional channel sets as indicated by [...] is optional. The entire T command must be
on one line.
D x y
Display Table. Reads and displays the table values from row x to row y.
TRNG x y
Table Range Command. Makes a range of rows in the table Active. The TRUN and
TONCE commands only operate on the Active rows. The active rows start at row x and in-
clude all rows up to and including row y. Default is the entire table from row 0 to 14249. The
parameters x and y are saved using the ‘S’ command.
TRUN [x y]
Run Table Command. Saves all table rows to flash memory if they have been entered but
not saved and starts the table continuously looping through the active table rows. If the op-
tional x and y parameters are entered then the table will loop from row x to row y. Also sets
the IOUD signal to an output and disables the TS hardware inputs.
TONCE [x y]
Run Table Once Command. Saves all table rows that have been entered but not saved and
causes the table to run once through the active table rows. If the optional x and y parameters
are entered then the table will run once from row x to row y. Also sets the IOUD signal to an
output and disables TS hardware inputs.
TSTOP
Stops the table from running. The state of the channels will be the sames as they were when
the table was stopped.
TS [x]
Table Step Command. Causes the table to move to the next active row. Does not save table
data in RAM to flash memory. You must use the TSAVE command to save to RAM. If the
optional ’x’ parameter is included it causes the table to go to row x.
TSAVE
Save to Flash Command. The T Command creates table data in RAM memory. The
TSAVE command saves this RAM table data to flash memory. The table only operates on
data that is in flash memory.
TCLEAR
Clear Table Command. Resets all table rows in the table flash memory to the empty state.
TSCALE x
Dwell Scaling Command. ‘x’ can be 1 or 4. x=1 is the default and sets the maximum dwell
time to 8191.875 microseconds. If x=4 then all the dwell times are multiplied by 4 and the
maximum dwell time becomes (4 x 8191.875 = 32.7675) milliseconds. Parameter ’x’ is
saved using the ‘S’ command.
TTRIG [row row]
Run Table Once Hardware Trigger. After this command is run the instrument waits for a
trigger input on the external interface TS pin. Each rising edge on the TS pin will cause the
table to be run once. A TSTOP command is required to exit this mode. The range of table
rows is specified with the TRNG command or with the optional start and ending row numbers
provided with this command.
