Remote trigger operation
The following is a typical example of using remote trigger configuration to enhance
sweeps. For further details on the steps for sweep programming, see “Remote
sweep operation,” on page 4-14. When setting trigger model parameters, keep the
following in mind:
• The arm layer controls the entire sweep.
• The trigger layer controls individual sweep steps.
See “SCPI commands — triggering,” on page 8-10 for details on trigger com-
mands.
Programming triggering
1. Restore defaults with this command:
*RST
2. Configure the arm layer.
Examples – The following commands configure the bus trigger source, set
the trigger output line to #1, and enable a trigger output pulse and then
operation leaves the trigger layer:
3. Configure the trigger layer.
Examples – The following commands configure the trigger link as the
trigger input source, select line #2 on the trigger link for input, select line #4
as output, and enable triggers after both source and delay phases of the
device action block:
4. Configure and run your sweep as outlined in “SCPI commands — triggering,”
on page 8-10. With the above configuration, a *TRG or GET is required to
start the sweep, and an external trigger pulse applied to line 2 of the trigger
link is required to trigger each sweep step.
ARM:SOUR BUS ‘ Select BUS trigger (*TRG or GET).
ARM:OLIN 1 ‘ Set arm output trigger to line #1.
