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.

Command Parameters Parameter Typ e
:ABORt
:INITiate
[:IMMediate]
:CONTinuous state Boolean
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
