Command Reference
PA
1 to 16: Port 1 to 16 of the digital I/O terminal.
To use a digital I/O port, send the TGP command. The port value must
be same as the port value set to the TGP command.
level : Trigger output level. Integer expression. 0, 1, or 2.
0: Logical low.
1: Logical high.
2: Edge trigger (default setting).
If level is not specified, the B1500 sends the edge trigger. For the gate

PA
The PA command pauses the command execution or internal memory program
execution, until the specified wait time elapses or until an event specified by the TM
command is received. The event set by the TM command only releases the paused
status. It does not start the measurement.
Syntax PA [wait time]
Parameters wait time : -99.9999 to 99.9999 seconds, with 100 μsec resolution. Numeric
expression. If wait time is not specified or negative wait time is set, the
paused status is kept until receiving an event specified by the TM
command.
Remarks The TM3 command enables an external trigger from the Ext Trig In terminal as an
event used to break the pause state set by the PA command.
The B1500 counts the wait time independent of the source wait time and the
measurement wait time set by the WAT command. So the wait time can cover them
as shown in the following program example:
