Hardware trigger mode summary
Trigger configuration on hardware lines
The Series 2600A can be configured to send digital signals to trigger external instruments. Linking
these output triggers to the completion of certain source-measure actions enables hardware
handshaking.
Example:
-- Configure Series 2600A to detect rising edge on digital I/O line 2.
digio.trigger[2].mode = digio.TRIG_RISINGA
digio.trigger[2].clear()
-- Configure SMU A to start its source action when a trigger event
-- occurs on digital I/O line 2.
smua.trigger.source.stimulus = digio.trigger[2].EVENT_ID
-- Configure digital I/O line 4 to output a 1ms rising-edge trigger
-- pulse at the completion of SMU sweep.
digio.trigger[4].mode = digio.TRIG_RISINGM
digio.trigger[4].pulsewidth = 0.001
digio.trigger[4].stimulus = smua.trigger.SWEEP_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
This example’s triggering setup is shown in Figure 10-5.
