To use SCPI commands and create a file in binary format, see "To create a control
list in binary format" on page 980
To create a control list using tag file format
To create an ASCII control list file directly, use the provided tag commands.
1. Use a hex data editor and create the mandatory tags:
● TYPE
● [TRACE] LIST
The [TRACE] LIST tag defines the individual markers or control traces in a com-
bined {Pos:State} way within the control list period (CONTROL LENGTH).
2. Use a hex data editor and create the recommended tag CONTROL LENGTH.
This tag defines the periodicity of the total control list
3. Add the required optional tags.
They can be inserted after the TYPE tag in arbitrary order.
An example of the control list file contents could be:
{TYPE:SMU-CL}{COPYRIGHT:Rohde&Schwarz}
{DATE:2012-06-11;15:00:09}{HOP LIST:0:0;498:1;506:0}
{CW MODE LIST:0:0;380:1}{LEVATT LIST 3:0:0;464:1}
{BURST LIST:0:0;122:1;270:0;582:1;924:0}
{MARKER LIST 4:0:0;706:1;764:0}
{MARKER LIST 3:0:0;530:1;633:0}
{MARKER LIST 2:0:0;350:1;457:0}
{MARKER LIST 1:0:0;108:1;160:0}
{CONTROL LENGTH:1000}
The Figure 4-14 shows the representation of the created control list in the "Control
Data Editor".
Compare the displayed ramp values of "Marker 1" and the "Total List Length" with
the values in the corresponding tags.
Note: In the provided example, the tags have been separated by line breaks for
better reading.
See also Example "How to assign and activate control signals from a control list"
on page 981.
To create a control list in binary format
Generation of a control list in binary format is not necessary but possible.
► Use the commands BB:DM:CLISt:... to generate a control list in binary format
(see "Handling List Files" on page 913 and the example in [:SOURce<hw>]:BB:
DM:CLISt:DATA on page 916).
See also Example "How to assign and activate control signals from a control list"
on page 981.
