Set the number of times to output the trace. Each trace can be output once,
multiple times, or infinitely. The
command sets the number of times to output the trace. If not set to
infinite, you can output the trace from 1 to 255 times (the output is
controlled by the handshake).
Load the trace(s) into memory. Named traces are downloaded using the
TRACe:DATA:DIGital
width of the channel set in step 1. If you change the width of a bank,
all traces in memory are cleared. The trace names must start with a
character and may be up to 12 characters in length. The trace name used
must be unique to the bank. Up to 32 traces may be downloaded (up to
the maximum memory).
Traces can be added or deleted only when memory is disabled. Memory
output cannot be enabled unless the bank has a trace assigned to it.
For example, the following commands load two traces into memory for
bank 1 of a module in slot 1. In this example, each byte of the LWORd to
output is sent as a separate byte.
TRAC:DATA:DIG:LWOR (@1101), MyTrace1, 255, 200, 128, 0
TRAC:DATA:DIG:LWOR (@1101), MyTrace2, 254, 192, 64, 32
You can also send trace data in IEEE- 488 block format using this
command.
The 34950A also has two special built- in traces for your use. You can
generate and download a count- up trace and a walking 1's pattern using
the
Reference Help file for more details.

Set which trace to use. The
assigns the desired trace to the bank. This command allows you to switch
between the traces pre- loaded into the bank's memory.
Enable the memory. Enable the memory on the bank using the
SOURce:DIGital:MEMory:ENABle
selected trace to be the output and puts the bank in the wait- for-
trigger state.

You can generate a count-down or walking zero pattern by inverting the
data line polarity.
