TRIGger Subsystem Introduction
TRIGger Subsystem Introduction
Configures triggering for sequence, list, burst, and sweep:
TRIGger[1|2] - immediate trigger
TRIGger[1|2]:COUNt - trigger count
TRIGger[1|2]:DELay - trigger delay
TRIGger[1|2]:SLOPe - slope of trigger signal at the rear-panel Ext Trig connector
TRIGger[1|2]:SOURce - source (internal, external, timer, or bus) from which instrument accepts trigger
TRIGger[1|2]:TIMer? - timer used when TRIGger[1|2]:SOURce is TIMer.
TRIGger[1|2]
Forces immediate trigger to initiate sequence, sweep, list, or burst.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) (none)
Send an immediate trigger on channel 2:
TRIG
l Can be used with IMMediate, EXTernal, or BUS trigger source (TRIGger[1|2]:SOURce). For example, you can use
TRIGger to issue an immediate trigger while waiting for an external trigger.
l Intended as an override. For general, software controlled triggering, use *TRG.
TRIGger[1|2]:COUNt <number>
TRIGger[1|2]:COUNt?
Sets trigger count.
Parameter Typical Return
1 to 1,000,000; default, 1 10000
Set channel 2 trigger count to 10000:
TRIG2:COUN 10000
l Can be used with IMMediate, EXTernal, or BUS trigger source (TRIGger[1|2]:SOURce).
l Applies only when INITiate[1|2]:CONTinuous is OFF.
TRIGger[1|2]:DELay <seconds|MINimum|MAXimum>
TRIGger[1|2]:DELay?
Sets trigger delay, (time from assertion of trigger to occurrence of triggered event).
