About this manual

This note explains how to use the advanced programmable features of the Agilent 66000 Modular Power System, including sequencing multiple modules, voltage‑ramp control, and time‑varying voltage/current limits. Programming examples are provided in Visual Basic 6.0 and HP BASIC.

The document details trigger sources, trigger generation, and how to enable modules to respond to triggers, as well as the List mode for dwell‑paced and trigger‑paced output sequences.

Frequently asked questions

Can a List be repeated automatically?

Yes, the List count can be set from 1 to 65534 or to infinite for continuous repetition.

How is a dwell‑paced List executed?

After a single trigger starts the List, each point is held for its programmed dwell time before moving to the next point automatically.
