Example 
 
CALC2:LIM1:LOW -5.17 
CALC2:LIM1:UPP -4.23 
TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:LIM:DYN 9, IN, 1, 12, 7 
Set the limits on with a low limit of -5.17 and 
a high limit of -4.23. Set trigger block 9 to 
test if the limit is insi
the measurement reading at block 7. If the 
measurement is within the limits, go to block 
12.

:TRIGger:BLOCk:BRANch:ONCE 
This command causes the trigger model to branch to a specified building block the first time it is encountered in 
the trigger model. 
Type  Affected by  Where saved  Default value 
Instrument reset 
Usage 
:TRIGger:BLOCk:BRANch:ONCE <blockNumber>, <branchToBlock> 
 
The sequence of the block in the trigger model 
The block number of the trigger model block to execute when the trigger 
model first encounters this block 
 
Details 
The branch-once building block branches to a specified block the first time the trigger model encounters the 
branch-once block. If it is encountered again, the trigger model ignores the block and continues in the normal 
sequence. 
The once block is reset when the trigger model reaches the idle state. Therefore, the branch-once block always 
executes the first time the trigger model encounters this block. 
Example 
 
:TRIG:BLOC:BRAN:ONCE 2, 4 
When the trigger model reaches block 2, the trigger model goes to block 4 instead of proceeding to the default 
sequence of block 3.
