Software (Bus) Triggering The bus trigger mode is available only
from the remote interface. This mode is similar to the single trigger
mode from the front panel, but you trigger the function generator by
sending a bus trigger command. The function generator outputs one burst
or initiates one sweep each time the trigger command is received.
• To select the bus trigger source, send the following command.
"TRIGGER:SOURCE BUS"
• To trigger the function generator from the remote interface (
HP-IB or
RS-232), send the *TRG (trigger) command.
• You can also trigger the function generator from the
HP-IB interface
by sending the
IEEE-488 Group Execute Trigger (GET) message.
The following statement shows how to send a
GET using HP BASIC.
TRIGGER 710
