Configuring an LXI State Trigger
Recalling a state in response to a peer to peer message is done in a
similar way, although only a SCPI interface is available.
Note that the Input Event Location parameter is also a part of the
instrument’s state. This means that each saved state may point to new
states to be recalled on subsequent peer to peer messages. For example,
in “Configuring an LXI State Trigger”, Task 1 may include setting the
Location parameter for LAN1 to “c:\States\anotherState.state”. After
4. Monitor Response Follow “Verifying LXI Output
LAN Events” on page 90.
This may be done
assuming “Configuring
an LXI Trigger Using
SCPI” on page 90 or
“Configuring an LXI
Trigger Using the Front
Panel” on page 92 are
complete.
