PROGram:EXPLicit:STATe <progname>,RUN|STOP
Usage: The explicitly named function is started by setting state to RUN. If the state is
already RUN, a second run of the same function is started. When set to STOP,
all instances started through this interface or the Function user interface will be
stopped. There is a maximum of 10 concurrently running functions.
Query: PROG:EXPL:STAT? returns the state of the explicitly named function as RUN
or STOP. The PROG:RCAT? query returns a list of the currently running
functions.
PROGram:EXPLicit:TIMed[:SET] <progname>,[’cron_string’]
{,’cron_string’}
Usage: Set zero or more <cron_strings> for periodic execution for the explicitly
named function.
A cron_string is five fields consisting of the following:
MIN HOUR DAY_of_MONTH MONTH DAY_of_WEEK
Each field may contain any of the follow type entries: a single number, a
comma-separated list of numbers, a hyphen-separated pair of numbers, or an *.
A comma separated list in a field specifies multiple occurrence for the timed
program to run.
A pair of numbers separated by a hyphen in a field specifies the beginning
number, the ending number, and all the integer numbers in between.
An * in a field means to do it on all occurrence. An exception to the * usage is
that if both the day of the week and the day of the month fields have an * it just
means “every day.” If only one of these two fields has an *, that field is
ignored, and if neither has an *, both fields are used.
Example '0 0,12 * * *' specifies a time of midnight and noon every day
of the month and every day of the week.
Query: PROG:EXPL:TIM[:SET]? <progname> returns the set of cron_strings
active for the function <progname>
