Triggering System
Description
Triggering operates as follows depending on the continuous measurement set-
ting (
:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS) and the trigger source setting (:TRIG-
GER:SOURCE
).
See "8.7 Basic Data Importing Methods" (p.165).
*1:
:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS OFF
Can only be set by Remote command.
If this has been set to OFF when operation is returned to the Local state or
power is turned off, the following state occurs when power is turned back on.
:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS ON
See " Local Function" (p.118).
*2: The
TRG command cannot be used for triggering while awaiting a trigger af-
ter issuing a
:READ? command. In this case, use the TRIG terminal or TRIG
key for triggering.
