3 Features and Functions<br />

Sequences<br />

This section gives information on defining and executing a sequence, <br />

which is a compiled series of SCPI commands stored in non- volatile<br />

memory and identified by a user- defined name. Sequences can be used in<br />

a variety of applications, such as creating a signal path from a<br />

device- under- test to a measurement device or sequencing relays in a<br />

specified order. You can also uses sequences in conjunction with other<br />

operations to configure and synchronize complex measurements without<br />

having to send the routing commands each time.<br />

The following tables summarizes the commands used to define, execute,<br />

and manage sequences. For more information, see the <strong>Agilent</strong> <strong>34980A</strong><br />

Defines a sequence.<br />

Returns sequence definition.<br />

Terminates currently-running sequence.<br />

Returns “1” if sequence is executing (busy).<br />

Returns name of currently-running sequence.<br />

Executes specified sequence.<br />

Blocks until sequence has completed.<br />

Returns list of defined sequence names.<br />

Deletes all sequences from memory.<br />

Deletes specified sequence from memory.<br />

Returns sequence associated with alarm.<br />

Assigns trigger source to sequence.<br />

Returns trigger source currently selected.<br />

A sequence defines a series of SCPI commands with an associated name.<br />

When the sequence is first defined, the commands are compiled and then<br />

stored in a compressed format in non- volatile memory. The following SCPI<br />

commands are allowed in a sequence definition (all other commands will<br />

generate an error).<br />
