Figure 1-8: Trigger System
Idle State
Turning power on, sending an HP-IB CLEAR, sending a *RST or an
:ABORt forces the trigger system into the idle state. The trigger system
remains in the IDLE state until it is initiated by INITiate:CONTinuous
ON or INITiate:IMMediate. Once one of these conditions is satisfied the
trigger system moves to the initiate state.
