List Sequencer Global Parameters
In addition to the mode and measurement parameters that are set for a sequence, there are also
parameters that configure the source and analyzer list sequencers. These parameters can be set up from
the front panel or by remote control SCPI commands. For details on how to set up these parameters from
the front panel see Chapter 6 , “Front Panel Sequence Setup,” on page 77.
NOTE Global parameters cannot be specific to an acquisition; they apply to the entire sequence
and to every acquisition in it.
Trigger Timeout
This parameter sets the timeout for trigger events that occur during a sequence. If all Acquisition
Parameters triggers are set to Free Run, this parameter is ignored. This parameter should be set to a value
that exceeds the trigger arming period (the time between the previous acquisition completing and the
next trigger). This parameter can be switched ON or OFF. When it is ON, you need to specify a timeout
value.
If the Trigger Timeout is ON, and is set to a value greater than the trigger arming period, then the Trigger
Timeout is activated on the next non-Free Run trigger in the Sequence. No timeout error is recorded.
If Trigger Timeout is ON, and is set to a value less than the trigger arming period, then an error is flagged
and is displayed on the front panel; it can also be returned remotely by sending the command
SYSTem:ERRor? (The sequence is aborted only if Abort on Error is set to ON.)
The remote command for activating or deactivating the timeout is:
[:SENSe]:LSEQuencer:TIMeout:TRIGger:STATe OFF|ON|0|1
The remote command for setting the value of the timeout is:
[:SENSe]:LSEQuencer:TIMeout:TRIGger <time>
Abort on Limit Fail
This parameter specifies whether or not the test set aborts during a Sequence if any of the measurements
in the Sequence exceed the limits set for that measurement. This only applies to measurements which
have test limit parameters and which are enabled.
The remote command for this parameter is:
[:SENSe]:LSEQuencer:ABORt:LIMit:FAIL[:STATE] ON|OFF|0|1
