Using the TRIGGER key to generate an event
You can use the front-panel TRIGGER key to generate a trigger event.
For example, if you set a wait block to advance when the TRIGGER key is pressed, the trigger model
will reach the wait block. If the TRIGGER key has already been pressed, the trigger model execution
will continue. If the TRIGGER key has not been pressed, the trigger model execution is halted until
the TRIGGER key is pressed.
To set a trigger block to respond to the front-panel key press:
• From the front panel: Set the event to be Display TRIGGER Key
• Using SCPI: Set the event to DISPlay
• Using TSP: Set the event to trigger.EVENT_DISPLAY
There are no action overruns for front-panel TRIGGER key events.
