Instruction Manual

BHK-MG (OPR) 022014 B-5
Description: Determines whether continuous triggers are enabled or disabled. Power supply returns value of
INIT:CONT flag: “1” = continuous triggers are enabled (INIT:CONT ON); “0” = continuous triggers dis-
abled (INIT:CONT OFF). (See example, Figure B-1.)
B.14 INSTrument:STATe COMMAND INST:STAT
Syntax: Short Form: INST:STAT <val> Long Form: INSTrument:STATe <val>
Description: Operation is identical to OUTPut:STATe command (PAR. B.36) and is provided for compatibility with
other vendors products.
B.15 INSTrument:STATe? QUERY INST:STAT?
Syntax: Short Form: INST:STAT? Long Form: INSTrument:STATe <val>
Description: Operation is identical to OUTPut:STATe? query (PAR. B.37) and is provided for compatibility with
other vendors products.
B.16 [SOURce:]LIST:CLEar COMMAND LIST:CLE
Syntax: Short Form: LIST:CLE Long Form: LIST:CLEar>
Description: Clears all list entries by setting all pointers to 0. Also sets LIST:DIR to UP, LIST:COUN 1 to DSEQ,
Related Commands: All LIST commands (See example, Figure B-3.)
B.17 [SOURce:]LIST:COUNt COMMAND LIST:COUN
Syntax: Short Form: LIST:COUN<int_value 0 to 65535> Long Form: LIST:COUNt> <int_value 0 to 65535>
Description: Establishes how many times the list is executed. Allows user to establish how many times the list
is executed. The order (beginning to end or end to beginning) is determined by LIST:DIR. For
LIST:COUN 0, the unit will execute the sequence indefinitely until a VOLT:MODE FIXED command is
received. Related Commands: LIST:DIR. (See example, Figure B-3.)
B.18 [SOURce:]LIST:COUNt? QUERY LIST:COUN?
Syntax: Short Form: LIST:COUN? Long Form: LIST:COUNt?
Return Value: <int_value>
Description: Identifies how many times the list will be executed. Returns value set by LIST:COUN command.
(See example, Figure B-3.)
B.19 [SOURce:]LIST:COUNt:SKIP COMMAND LIST:COUN:SKIP
Syntax: Short Form: LIST:COUN:SKIP nn Long Form: LIST:COUNt:SKIP nn
nn = <int_value 0 to 65535>
Description: Allows beginning steps of list-generated waveform to be run once, then ignored. When a list is
to be repeated using LIST:COUNT, this command allows the user to skip the first nn steps once the full
set has been executed. After the first iteration (which executes all steps), the first nn steps are
skipped. The LIST:COUN:SKIP command allows the user to precondition a list-generated waveform
by setting unique conditions at the beginning that are not repeated for the rest of the repetitions.
LIST:CLEar sets nn to 0. Only works in LIST:DIR UP mode, if LIST:DIR DOWN is issued, this com-
mand has no effect. Related Commands: LIST:COUN, LIST:COUN:SKIP?, LIST:DIR, LIST:CLE. (See
example, Figure B-3.)
B.20 [SOURce:]LIST:COUNt:SKIP? QUERY LIST:COUN:SKIP?
Syntax: Short Form: LIST:COUN:SKIP? Long Form: LIST:COUNt:SKIP?
Return Value: <int_value>
Description: Identifies how many steps will skipped the first time the list is executed. Returns value set by
LIST:COUN:SKIP command. (See example, Figure B-3.)
B.21 [SOURce:]LIST:CURRent COMMAND LIST:CURR
Syntax: Short Form: LIST:CURR <exp_value>, <exp_value>, . . . (to max of 250 data points)
Long Form: LIST:CURRent <exp_value>, <exp_value>, . . . (to max of 250 data points)
<exp_value> = digits with decimal point and Exponent, e.g., 2.71E1 for 27.1
Description: Adds the current value (in Amps) to list. This command sequentially adds LIST:CURRent values to
the main channel List Data Table. Starting location is indicated by LIST:CURR:POIN? The maximum
