Keyword Description
TRIGger[:SEQuence]
:COUNt <nrf>
Specifies the number of acquisitions before control flows up
to the superior layer. Default = 1, Max = 1000000
:COUNt? Returns the Count setting
:COUPling DC|AC
Sets the coupling used with :SOURce:INTernal. See also
:LEVel and :SLOPe. Default = AC
:COUPling? Returns the coupling setting
:DELay:AUTO <boolean>
When ON, the time delay between source event detection
and the start of an acquisition is determined automatically
(the DMM sets an appropriate delay needed for settling after
a configuration change). Default = ON
:DELAY:AUTO? Returns the auto delay setting, 1 = ON, 0 = OFF
:DELay <nrf>
Set the time delay between source event detection and the
start of an acquisition
:DELay? Returns the delay setting in seconds
:ECOunt <nrf>
numeric is an integer value to specify how many TRIGger
events must be recognised before DELay is started. ECOunt
provides TRIGger event division. Default = 1, Max =
10000000
:ECOunt? Returns the Ecount setting
:EXTernal
POSitive|NEGative
[,TTL|BIPolar]
Sets the polarity of the External trigger edge and optionally,
signal type to TTL or Bipolar. Default = Negative, TTL
:EXTernal? Returns the external edge polarity and edge type settings
:FILTer <boolean>
Turns the filter in the event detector path ON or OFF. The
filter affects both the signal and event detector paths. Default
= OFF
:FILTer?
:HOLDoff:AUTO[:STATe] OFF|ON
:HOLDoff:AUTO[:STATe] ?
:HOLDoff <nrf>
:HOLDoff?
Returns the filter state
When ON, the holdoff period is set Automatically
Returns the state of HOLDoff:AUTO (1 = ON, 2 = OFF)
Manually sets the HOLDoff period. Default 0, Maximum 100 s
Return the HOLDoff period
:IMMediate
Modifies event detection behaviour. If the system is waiting
for an event in this layer, this one-time command bypasses
event detection, ECOunt and DELay. An acquisition is
immediately started. If not waiting at the event detector the
command is ignored and error -221 issued.
:LEVel <nrf>
Sets the percentage of range at which arming occurs when
Source is INTernal. Default = 0 %, Min = -200, Max = 200
:LEVel? Returns the level setting as a percentage of range.
:RESet
Reset the trigger system to default settings. :RESet does not
change the state of INIT:CONT
