Programming the Trigger In and Trigger Out BNC Connectors
The ac source has two BNC connectors labeled Trigger In and Trigger Out (refer to
Figure 5-6). Refer to “Trigger in/Trigger out characteristics” in Appendix A of the
User's Guide for the electrical parameters.
Trigger in BNC
This chassis-referenced digital input can be selected as a source for transient or
measurement triggers. This allows an action to be synchronized to an external
signal. The trigger is recognized on a high-to-low transition of the input signal.
The minimum pulse width of the signal is 1 microsecond. To select the Trigger In
connector as the trigger source, use:
TRIGger:SEQuence1:SOURce EXTernal or
TRIGger:TRANsient:SOURce EXTernal
TRIGger:SEQuence3:SOURce EXTernal
or
TRIGger:ACQuire:SOURce EXTernal
Trigger out BNC
This chassis-referenced digital output can be programmed to supply a pulse
output at the leading or trailing edge of a step or pulse, or at the leading edge of
any point in a list sequence. The output signal is nominally a 10 microsecond
low-true pulse. To enable the Trigger Out connector, use:
OUTPut:TTLTrg:STATe ON
At *RST, the Trigger Out connector is off.
To select a trigger source for the Trigger Out connector, use:
OUTPut:TTLTrg:SOURce BOT | EOT | LIST
BOT specifies that the pulse is output at the beginning of a transient. This
is the *RST setting.
EOT specifies that the pulse is output at the end of a transient.
LIST specifies that the pulse position is defined by the LIST:TTLTrg command.
