BBTRigger1|BBTRigger2|PTRig|EVENt1
[:SOURce]:POWer:ALTernate:TRIGger:EXTernal[:SOURce]?
This command sets the external trigger source for the alternate amplitude signal when
:ALTernate:TRIGger[:SOURce] is set to External.
BBTRigger1
This choice requires an external trigger to the selected rear panel BB TRIG 1BNC to
toggle the RF output power between main and alternate amplitudes.
BBTRigger2 This choice requires an external trigger to the selected rear panel BB TRIG 2 BNC to
toggle the RF output power between main and alternate amplitudes.
PTRig This choice requires an external trigger to the selected rear panel PAT TRIG BNC to
toggle the RF output power between main and alternate amplitudes.
EVENt1 This choice requires an external trigger to the selected rear panel EVENT 1 BNC to
toggle the RF output power between main and alternate amplitudes.

:ALTernate:TRIGger[:SOURce]
Supported N5172B/82B
[:SOURce]:POWer:ALTernate:TRIGger[:SOURce] INTernal|EXTernal
[:SOURce]:POWer:ALTernate:TRIGger[:SOURce]?
This command sets the trigger source for the alternate amplitude signal.
INTernal
The baseband generator triggers each timeslot to output a power level set with either the
user-selected main or alternate amplitude parameter.
This choice requires a baseband generator option. Each timeslot is allowed to output
power with a user-selected main or alternate amplitude.
EXTernal This choice requires an external trigger to the selected rear panel connector (see
:ALTernate:TRIGger:EXTernal[:SOURce]) to toggle the RF output power between main
and alternate amplitudes.
