Triggering Commands
INITiate
This command causes the trigger system to initiate. This command completes one full
trigger cycle when the trigger source is an immediate and initiates the trigger
subsystem when the trigger source is bus.
TRIGger:DELay {<seconds>| MINimum | MAXimum}
This command sets the time delay between the detection of an event on the specified
trigger source and the start of any corresponding trigger action on the power supply
output. Select from 0 to 3600 seconds. MIN = 0 seconds.
MAX = 3600 seconds. At *RST, this value is set to 0 seconds.
TRIGger:DELay?
This command queries the trigger delay.
TRIGger:SOURce {BUS | IMMediate}
This command selects the source from which the power supply will accept a trigger.
The power supply will accept a bus (software) trigger or an internal immediate trigger.
At *RST, the bus trigger source is selected.
TRIGger:SOURce?
This command queries the present trigger source. Returns ‘‘BUS’’ or ‘‘IMM’’.
*TRG
This command generates a trigger to the trigger subsystem that has selected a bus
(software) trigger as its source (TRIG:SOUR BUS). The command has the same
effect as the Group Execute Trigger (GET) command. For RS-232 operation, make
sure the power supply is in the remote interface mode by sending the SYST:REM
command first.
