SCPI programming - triggering
Trigger model (remote operation)
The following paragraphs describe how the Model 2182 operates for remote operation. The
flowchart in Figure 7-10 summarizes operation over the bus. The flowchart is called the trigger
model because operation is controlled by SCPI commands from the Trigger subsystem. Key
SCPI commands are included in the trigger model.
