Setting Dwell Time
The dwell time is the amount of time that is delayed between each
command during the execution of an Auto Sequence program. The
dwell time can be from 0 to 180 seconds and can be changed during the
program execution. The dwell time has a minimum step size of 1
second.
Command:
[:]PROGram[<channel>][:STEP]:DWELl {?|<dwell time> }
Where:
<dwell time > is an integer value from 0 to 180.
For Example:
:PROG:DWEL 12 Results in 12 seconds of wait time after each
command is executed.
Storing an Auto Sequence Program
Loading a program into memory is done by using the [: ] PROGram
[<channel>] [: RECord] : STARt command. After the start
command has been issued, the XG will record all subsequent commands
into the auto sequence program buffer. The commands will be recorded
into the buffer until the
: PROGram [<channel>] [: RECord] : STOP command is issued.
Commands:
[:]PROGram[<channel>][:RECord]:STARt
[:]PROGram[<channel>][:RECord]:STOP
Important: If the start recording command is executed then any previously
stored Auto Sequence program is deleted.
For example:
:PROG:STAR
:VOLT 12
:OUTP ON
:PROG:DWEL 60
:OUTP OFF
:OUTP ON
:OUTP OFF
:PROG:DWEL 0
:PROG:STOP
This program will send a 12 V square wave with 120 seconds 50% duty
cycle. When the program is finished, the dwell time is restored to 0
seconds.
