7.15.12 SOURce:LIST Subsystem
This subsystem contains the commands for the List mode of the instrument.
The same lists are, accessed for both paths. File operations such as creating, deleting
and querying lists are therefore path-independent. In this case, the suffix under SOURce
must be omitted. An error message is displayed if the suffix is specified.
The following settings are required to operate the instrument in List mode:
1. Create a list.
If a list which does not exist is selected with the :LIST:SEL command, an empty list
with the name of the selected list is created.
SOURce1:LIST:SEL "New_list"
2. Fill the list with values.
All list components must be of the same length. This does not apply to components
of length 1. This is interpreted as if the component has the same length as the other
components and as if all values are the same as the first value.
SOURce1:LIST:FREQ 100 MHz, 110 MHz, 120 MHz,...
SOURce1:LIST:POW 2dBm, -1dBm, 0dBm,...
3. Select a list.
If a new empty file has been created with the :LIST:SEL command, this file is
selected, otherwise an existing list must be selected before the List mode is activated.
SOURce1:LIST:SEL "Old_list"
4. Set the dwell time.
The dwell time determines the duration of the individual list steps.
SOURce1:LIST:DWELl 3ms
5. Set the List mode.
The List mode determines the way in which the list is processed. In the example the
list is processed once only or repeatedly depending on the trigger setting.
SOURce1:LIST:MODE AUTO
6. Determine the trigger.
In the example each trigger causes the list to be processed once from beginning to
end.
SOURce:LIST:TRIGger:SOURce SINGle
7. Activate the List mode.
SOURce1:FREQuency:MODE LIST
8. Trigger the list (depending on the mode).
SOURce1:LIST:TRIGger:EXECute
9. Deactivate the List mode.
SOURce1:FREQuency:MODE CW
