Program an Output Pulse or Pulse Train
The following procedure shows how to generate an output pulse train
using the List function.
Step 1. Set the voltage or current function for which you want to generate a
pulse to List mode. This example programs a voltage pulse.
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select Transient\Mode. Set the
voltage mode to List. Press Select.
To program output 1, use
VOLT:MODE LIST, (@1)
Step 2. Set the amplitude and width of the pulse. For example, to generate a
pulse with an amplitude of 15 V and a pulse width of 1 second, use:
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select List Step 0 and enter a
voltage value of 15. Press Select.
Enter a dwell value of 1 for List
Step 0 and Press Select.
To program output 1, use
LIST:VOLT 15, (@1)
LIST:DWEL 1, (@1)
Step 3. Set the list pacing to Auto, so that as each dwell time elapses, the
next step is immediately output.
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select Transient\List\Pace.
Select Dwell and press Select.
LIST:STEP AUTO, (@1)
If you only wish to program a single pulse, skip steps 4 and 5 and
go to step 6.
Step 4. If you want to generate a pulse train, you must specify the off time
between pulses. To do this you must program another step. For a
voltage list, you must specify an amplitude and an off time. For
example, to program an off time of 2 seconds with an amplitude of 0
V between pulses, use:
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select Transient\List\Config.
Select List Step 1 and enter a
voltage value of 0. Press Select.
Enter a dwell value of 2 for List
Step 1 and Press Select.
To program output 1, use
LIST:VOLT 15,0, (@1)
LIST:DWEL 1,2, (@1)
