Download method. The later is a bit more complex because it requires
writing external applications however, once understood, it could
download long tables in a split of a second. The fast binary download
format is explained later in this chapter.
For downloading standard ASCII sequence tables, use the following
command:
SSEQuence:DEFine
{<step_number>,<segment_number>,<repeat>[,<0/1>]}
Use this command up to 4096 times, each time for a different step and
for a different segment number and repeat combination. Note that the
same segment number can be used for different sequence steps. The
SSEQ:DEF command does not change the FUNC:MODE setting.
Unless the FUNC:MODE SEQ command is used, the SSEQ:DEF
command has no immediate effect on the output waveform or
function.
TIP
Every time that the SSEQ:DEF command is sent to the generator, it
attempts to rebuild the sequence table and re-generate the
sequence at the output. This process takes a long time and slows
the download process. Therefore, it is recommended that you use
the SSEQ:DEF command in either Fixed or User modes but not
while you are in sequenced mode.
The sequence generator goes through its steps in descending order.
In continuous mode, the sequence is repeated automatically after
completing the last step. In Triggered mode, the output stops at the
last point of the last waveform in the sequence. In Gated mode, the
sequence is always completed after the gate stop signal.
In case you want to remove a step from the sequence table, use the
following command:
SSEQuence:DELete <n>
Where <n> is the step number to be removed from the sequence. To
wipe out the sequence table use the following command:
SSEQuence:DELete:ALL
CAUTION
SSEQ:DEL:ALL is destructive. Use this command with caution
because it will completely and irreversibly erase the sequence table
