Agilent X-Series Signal Generators SCPI Command Reference 307

Arb Commands

Dual ARB Subsystem–N5172B/82B ([:SOURce]:RADio:ARB)

:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay:STATe

Supported N5172B/82B

[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay:STATe ON|OFF|1|0

[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay:STATe?

This command enables or disables the operating state of the external trigger delay function.

For setting the delay time, see “:TRIGger[SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay” on page 306, and for more

information on configuring an external source, see“:TRIGger[:SOURce]” on page 305.

*RST 0

Key Entry Ext Delay Off On

:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:SLOPe

Supported N5172B/82B

[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:SLOPe POSitive|NEGative

[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:SLOPe?

This command sets the polarity for an external trigger signal while using the continuous, single

triggering mode. To set the polarity for gating, see “:TRIGger:TYPE:GATE” on page 304.

The POSitive and NEGative selections correspond to the high (positive) and low (negative) states of

the external trigger signal. For example, when you select POSitive, the waveform responds (plays)

during the high state of the trigger signal. When the X- Series signal generator receives multiple

trigger occurrences when only one is required, the signal generator uses the first trigger and ignores

the rest.

For more information on configuring an external trigger source and to select external as the trigger

source, see “:TRIGger[:SOURce]” on page 305.

*RST NEG

Key Entry Ext Polarity Neg Pos

:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal[:SOURce]

Supported N5172B/82B

[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal[:SOURce] EPT1|EPT2|

EPTRIGGER1|EPTRIGGER2

[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal[:SOURce]?

This command selects which PATTERN TRIG IN connection the X- Series signal generator uses to

accept an externally applied trigger signal when external is the trigger source selection.

For more information on configuring an external trigger source and to select external as the trigger

source, see “:TRIGger[:SOURce]” on page 305. For more information on the rear panel connectors, see

the User’s Guide.

The following list describes the command choices:

EPT1 This choice is synonymous with EPTRIGGER1 and selects the PAT TRIG rear panel

connector.
