[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]?
This command sets the trigger source.
For more information on triggering, see “:TRIGger:TYPE” on page 156. The following list describes the
command choices:
KEY This choice enables manual triggering by pressing the front-panel Trigger hardkey.
EXT An externally applied signal triggers the waveform. This is the only choice that
works with gating. The following conditions affect an external trigger:
• The input connector selected for the trigger signal. You have a choice between
the rear- panel PATTERN TRIG IN connector or the PATT TRIG IN 2 pin on the
rear- panel AUXILIARY I/O connector. To make the connector selection, see
“:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal[:SOURce]” on page 162.
For more information on the connectors and on connecting the cables, see the
User’s Guide.
• The trigger signal polarity:
— gating mode, see “:TRIGger:TYPE:GATE:ACTive” on page 158
— continuous and single modes, see “:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:SLOPe” on
page 161
• The time delay between when the Agilent MXG receives a trigger and when the
waveform responds to the trigger. There are two parts to setting the delay:
— setting the amount of delay, see “:TRIGger[SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay” on
page 160
— turning the delay on, see “:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay:STATe” on
page 161
BUS This choice enables triggering over the GPIB or LAN using the *TRG or GET
commands or the AUXILIARY INTERFACE (USB) using the *TRG command.
*RST EXT
:TRIGger[SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay
Supported N5182A with Option 651/652/654
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay <value>
[:SOURce]:RADio:ARB:TRIGger[:SOURce]:EXTernal:DELay?
This command sets the amount of time to delay the Agilent MXG’s response to an external trigger.
The delay is a path (time) delay between when the Agilent MXG receives the trigger and when it
responds to the trigger. For example, configuring a trigger delay of two seconds, causes the Agilent
MXG to wait two seconds after receipt of the trigger before the Agilent MXG plays the waveform.
