CHAPTER 6: ADVANCED FUNCTIONS
6.1
Sequencer
The sequencer allows advanced waveforms programming of power supply output in steps of one
mille-second. Up to four sequences, 100 points each, can be stored inside power supply memory.
There are two programmable modes: LIST and WAVE. These programmable modes are
synchronized by input trigger (refer to section 6.2.2). According to the selected mode, power supply
activates an output trigger (refer to section 6.2.3)
6.1.1 LIST Mode
The Output values change in steps determined by parameters in the LIST. Output change is
activated by input trigger (refer to section 6.2.2). Program LIST parameters are activated by
Program Subsystem. For LIST related commands, refer to section 5.14.7.
Set the operation mode by [SOURce]:CURRent:MODE <DSC> and/or [SOURce]:VOLTage:MODE
<DSC> command/s (refer to 5.14.7).
