TRIGGER
Examples
TRIGGER 9
TRIGGER 901
Comments
If the 3468A has been addressed to listen, the TRIGGER message (also known as
GET, for Group Execute Trigger) will trigger the multimeter for a new reading. If a
reading is in progress at the time the TRIGGER message is received, the reading
will be aborted and a new reading started.
Topics in Advanced Programming
The following five programs illustrate the flexibility and measurement power of the
3468A. The programs include using a thermistor to accurately measure
temperature, achieving the maximum reading rate, using the 3468A Status Bytes,
and more. Although the programs were developed on an -hp- Model 85 desktop
computer they may easily be modified to run on any other controller. In many
cases, suggestions are made for modifying the programs to suit your individual
needs.
