{[TRACE] LIST [#]: Pos0:Val0;Pos1:Val1;...Posx:Valx;...PosN-1:ValN-1}
(mandatory for control lists / optional for waveforms)
The tag contains the data for the marker and control signals in the control list or the marker
signals of ARB waveforms. To select which of these signals is defined, [TRACE] and the
associated number are used. For ARB waveforms it is only meaningful to define marker
signals (on ARB multi segment waveforms these tags will be ignored).
Setting parameters:
[TRACE] Specifies the name of the marker or control signal.
You may choose from the following names:
MARKER; BURST; LEVATT; CW MODE; HOP, MAP
[#] Specifies the number in the case of control signals and marker
signals with the same name. There is a choice between 4 markers
and 3 LEVATT signals. Lines LEVATT 1 and 2 are needed for
internal purposes and should not be used.
Pos Specifies in ASCII format the number of the position in the
sequence, with effect from which the binary state of the marker or
of the control signal changes from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0.
Val Specifies the binary state of the marker or of the control signal {0;
1} from Pos
x
to Pos
x+1
exclusive in ASCII format.
Example:
{MARKER LIST 1: 0:0;10:1;20:0;30:1}
BB:DM:CLIS:TAG? 'MARKER LIST 1'
queries the content of the MARKER LIST 1 tag of the selected
control list file.
Response: '0:0;10:1;20:0;30:1'
the marker setting for samples 0 to 9 = 0 (low), for 10 to 19 = 1
(high) and for 20 to 29 = 0. From sample 30 onward the marker
setting = 1.
Example:
{LEVATT LIST 1: 0:0;10:1;20:0;30:1}
BB:DM:CLIS:TAG? 'LEVATT LIST 1'
queries the content of the LEVATT LIST 1 tag of the selected
control list file.
Response: '0:0;10:1;20:0;30:1'
level attenuation applies to data values 10 to 19 (high) and from
data value 30 onward.

(mandatory for waveforms)
The tag contains the actual waveform data or multi segment waveform data (I/Q stream).
The TYPE tag decides, wheather the waveform file contains a normal waveform or a multi
segment waveform.
The following figure shows the prinziple of multi segment work mode.
