Measurement Operations & Settings Triggering - The TRIGger Subsystem
174 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition
command:
:TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:INPut?
syntax: :TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:INPut?
description: Returns the incoming trigger response.
parameters: none
response: IGNore:

NEXTstep:
SWStart:
Ignore incoming trigger.
Start a single measurement. If a measurement function is active, see
“:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe” on page 100, one sample is
performed and the result is stored in the data array, see
“:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?” on page 97.
Start a complete measurement. If a measurement function is active, see
“:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe” on page 100, a complete mea-
surement function is performed.
Perform next step of a stepped sweep.
Start a sweep.
example: trig1:inp? → ign<END>
affects: All tunable laser modules, power meters, and return loss modules, and attenuators with
power control.
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel parameters are identical.
command:
:TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:INPut:REARm
syntax: :TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:INPut:REARm<wsp>OFF|ON|0|1
description: Sets the arming response of a channel to an incoming trigger.
NOTE
See Table Table 8 , for information on how this command affects triggering power
measurements.
parameters: A boolean value: OFF or 0: trigger rearming disabled
ON or 1: trigger rearming enabled (default)
NOTE
If you return to Local control, all modules return to the default setting.
response: none
example: trig1:inp:rearm 0
affects: All Agilent 8163A/B series power meter modules, and Agilent 8161x series return loss mod-
ules.
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
