Model 2750 Multimeter/Switch System User’s Manual Triggering 8-17
Reference
a. ABORt
With continuous initiation disabled, the 2750 goes into the idle state. With continu-
ous initiation enabled, operation continues at the top of the trigger model.
b. INITiate
Whenever the instrument is operating within the trigger model, sending this com-
mand causes an error and will be ignored.
c. INITiate:CONTinuous <b>
With continuous initiation enabled, you cannot use the READ? command or set
sample count (SAMPle:COUNt) greater than one.
d. FETCh?
READ?
See Section 3, Section 13, and Appendix D for details on using these commands to
trigger and retrieve readings.
NOTE [SENSe[1]]:DATA[:LATest]? and [SENSe[1]]:DATA:FRESh? can be
used to retrieve the last reading. These commands are also explained in
Section 3, Section 13, and Appendix D.
e. TRIGger:SOURce <name>
With the timer control source selected, use the TRIGger:TIMer command to set the
interval.
f. DELay:AUTO <b>
The auto delay times are listed in Table 8-1. Disabling auto delay sets the delay
time to 0.
g. TRIGger:SIGNal
Send this action command to bypass the control source when you do not wish to
wait for the programmed event to occur. The instrument must be waiting at the con-
trol source for the event when this command is sent. Otherwise, an error occurs and
the command is ignored.
h. SAMPle:COUNt
A sample count >1 specifies how many readings will automatically be stored in the
buffer. However, with continuous initiation enabled, you cannot set the sample
count greater than one.
Programming example
The following program fragment triggers (and stores in the buffer) 10 readings. Note that
in order to send the readings to the computer, you must address the Model 2750 to talk
after sending READ?.
*RST ' Restore *RST defaults.
TRAC:CLE ' Clear buffer.
TRIG:DEL 0.5 ' Set delay for 0.5sec.
SAMP:COUN 10 ' Set sample count to 10.
READ? ' Trigger, store, and request readings.
