Pulse commands
The following table summarizes the Model 2461 pulse sweep commands, which are described in
more detail in the SCPI command reference (on page 6-1) and TSP command reference (on page 8-
1) sections.
Command Description
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:<function>:<x>LIMit[:LEVel] (on page 6-
104)
TSP: smu.source.pulse.xlimit.level (on page 8-192)
Sets the source limit for pulsed output
for the selected function when
pulsing.
:SOURce[1]:PULSe:<function>[:LEVel][:IMMediate][:AMPLitude] (on
page 6-105)
TSP: smu.source.pulse.level (on page 8-190)
Selects a fixed amplitude for the
selected source function when
pulsing.
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:LIST:<function> (on page 6-107)
TSP: smu.source.configlist.create() (on page 8-177)
Allows you to set up a list of custom
values for a pulse sweep.
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:LIST:<function>:APPend (on page 6-108)
TSP: smu.source.configlist.store() (on page 8-182)
Adds values to the source pulse list
for the selected source function.
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:LIST:<function>:POINts? (on page 6-109)
TSP: smu.source.configlist.size() (on page 8-181)
Returns the number of configuration
indexes in the source pulse list for the
selected source function.
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:SWEep:<function>:LINear (on page 6-110)
TSP: smu.source.pulsesweeplinear() (on page 8-194)
Sets up a linear pulse sweep for a
fixed number of pulse points.
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:SWEep:<function>:LINear:STEP (on page
6-113)
TSP: smu.source.pulsesweeplinearstep() (on page 8-197)
Sets up a linear source pulse sweep
configuration list model with a fixed
number of steps.
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:SWEep:<function>:LIST (on page 6-116)
TSP: smu.source.pulsesweeplist() (on page 8-200)
Sets up a pulse sweep based on a
configuration list, which allows you to
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:SWEep:<function>:LOG (on page 6-118)
TSP: smu.source.pulsesweeplog() (on page 8-202)
Sets up a logarithmic pulse sweep for
a set number of source points.
SCPI: :SOURce[1]:PULSe:TRain:<function> (on page 6-121)
TSP: smu.source.pulsetrain() (on page 8-205)
Defines a sequence of source pulses
and creates a trigger model to
generate the pulse train.
SCPI: :TRIGger:BLOCk:SOURce:PULSe:STATe (on page 6-208)
TSP: trigger.model.setblock() —
trigger.BLOCK_SOURCE_PULSE_OUTPUT (on page 8-297)
Defines a pulse trigger block that
turns the pulse source on or off.
