:DIRection <name>
This command is used to control the arm, scan, and measure source bypasses.
Usage
:ARM[:SEQuence[1]][:LAYer[1]]:TCONfigure:DIRection <name>
:ARM[:SEQuence[1]]:LAYer2:TCONfigure:DIRection <name>
:TRIGger[:SEQuence[1]]:TCONfigure:DIRection <name>
<name>
SOURce:
Enable source bypass
ACCeptor:
Disable source bypass
Details
When a source bypass is enabled and the external or trigger link control source is selected, operation
loops around the appropriate control source on the initial pass through that layer. Note that the source
bypass for the scan and measure layers also loops around the delay.
If programmed for another pass through the specified layer (count >1), the bypass loop is not in effect
even though it is still enabled. The bypass loop is in effect if operation first goes back into the
previous layer (or idle).
Enabling the source bypass for the arm and scan layers also enables their output triggers. When
operation leaves the arm or scan layer, the appropriate output trigger pulse occurs. If the trigger link
(
TLINk
) control source is selected, the output trigger is available on the programmed trigger link
output line. The output trigger in these two layers is disabled when the source bypass is disabled.
The output trigger in the measure layer is always enabled and occurs after the device action.
With
ACCeptor
selected, the bypass is disabled, which means that operation does not proceed
through the specified layer until the appropriate event occurs.
