Usage
:TRIGger:BLOCk:BRANch:COUNter <blockNumber>, <targetCount>, <branchToBlock>
The sequence of the block in the trigger model
The number of times to repeat
The block number of the trigger model block to execute when the counter
is less than to the <targetCount> value
Details
This command defines a trigger model building block that branches to another block using a counter
to iterate a specified number of times.
Counters increment every time the trigger model reaches them until they are more than or equal to
the count value. At that point, the trigger model continues to the next building block in the sequence.
If you are using remote commands, you can query the counter. The counter is incremented
immediately before the branch compares the actual counter value to the set counter value. Therefore,
the counter is at 0 until the first comparison. When the trigger model reaches the set counter value,
branching stops and the counter value is one greater than the setting. Use
:TRIGger:BLOCk:BRANch:COUNter:COUNt? to query the counter.
Example
TRIG:BLOC:BUFF:CLEAR 1
TRIG:BLOC:MEAS 2
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:COUN 3, 5, 2
TRIG:BLOC:DEL:CONS 4, 1
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:COUN 5, 3, 2
Reset trigger model settings.
Clear defbuffer1 at the beginning of the
trigger model.
Loop and take 5 readings.
Delay a second.
Loop three more times back to block 2.
At end of execution, 15 readings are stored in
defbuffer1.
