Common Trigger
Configurations
In the previous paragraphs, you learned ab out the basic building
blo cks allowed in a SCPI trigger system. Generally, an instrument
implements only a p ortion of the trigger features available. These
paragraphs discuss the simplest congurations: INIT and TRIG.
The INIT Configuration
The
INIT
conguration is the simplest p ossible trigger conguration.
It uses no event detection states, and requires only two subsystems
for programming,
INITiate
and
ABORt.
All SCPI instruments
implement these two subsystems.

Example commands using the INIT trigger conguration:
:ABORt
abort operations, go to id le
:INIT:IMM
execute one sequenceoperation
:INIT:CONT ON
execute sequenceoperations continuously
:INIT:CONT OFF
stop sequenceoperations after the current one is
complete
