IEEE-488 Reference
5-132
This command is used to select the protocol for the Trigger Layer Trigger Link. With ASYN-
chronous selected, separate trigger lines are used for input and output triggers. With SSYNchro-
nous selected, a single trigger line is used for both input and output triggers.
Note that Arm Layer 1 and Arm Layer 2 only use the asynchronous Trigger Link mode and
therefore, the protocol does not have to be selected.

Line 10 Selects semi-synchronous Trigger Link protocol, and then queries the selected proto-
col.
Line 20 Addresses the 7001 to talk.
Line 30 Displays the Trigger Link protocol (SSYN).
