Trigger model
Performing a system preset (:SYSTem:PRESet) configures the trigger model for typical in-
strument operation. After a system preset, many advanced operations can be accomplished using
the initiate commands, :ABORt, and the trigger (measure) layer commands. All of the following
commands are part of the Trigger Subsystem.
:INITiate
[:IMMediate]
Take the instrument out of idle (ARM indicator on).
:CONTinuous <b> Enable or disable continuous initiation.
:ABORt Reset trigger system. Instrument stays in idle if continu-
ous initiation is disabled (off).
:TRIGger Path to configure the trigger layer:
:SOURce <name> Select control source: IMMediate, TIMer, MANual, BUS,
TLINk, EXTernal or HOLD.
:TIMer <n> Set timer interval (sec): 0 to 9999999.999.
:DELay <n> Set delay between measurements (sec) 0 to
999999.999.
