Technical data

Note that you can optionally define a trigger for a specific bit in the pattern:
1
Define the trigger out mode.
SOURce3:TRIGger:MODE PATTern
2
Set the bit on which the trigger is sent.
SOURce3:TRIGger:UPATtern<n> <NR1>
For user-patterns in the APATtern mode, it is recommended that the following
commands be executed in order:
1
Define that an Alternate PATtern be used.
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:USE APATtern
2
Define the length of the pattern.
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>[:LENGth] <NR1>
3
Define how the data is to be packed.
SOURce1:PATTern:FORMat:DATA PACKed, 1|4|8
4
Define the data in pattern A.
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:DATA A, <block data>
5
Define the data in the pattern B.
SOURce1:PATTern:UPATtern<n>:DATA B, <block data>
Note that you can optionally define a trigger when there is a pattern change:
1
Define the trigger out mode.
SOURce3:TRIGger:MODE PATTern
2
Optionally define a trigger when there is a pattern change.
SOURce3:TRIGger:APATtern<n> ABCHange
It is recommended that the following commands be executed in order:
1
Select the pattern to be used. This has to be an alternate pattern.
SOURce1:PATTern:SELect UPATtern<n>
2
Define the source for switching.
SOURce1:PATTern:APCHange:SOURce EXTernal | INTernal | BLANking
3
Define the mode for switching.
SOURce1:PATTern:APCHange:MODE
ALTernate | ONEShot | LLEVel | REDGe
4
Use the following command to define which half of the pattern should be sent.
