Table 4-1 Trigger Types and Setup Parameters
Trigger=AUTO automatically selects the trigger source best suited for the present
operating mode by using internal algorithms.
Trigger=BUS uses the remote interface trigger command such as GET, TRIGger,
and *TRG.
Trigger=TIMER uses a signal internally generated every interval set by the Period
parameter.
Trigger=INT1 or INT2 uses a signal from the internal bus 1 or 2, respectively.
Trigger=LAN uses the LXI trigger.
Trigger=EXTn uses a signal from the DIO pin n which is an output port of the
Digital I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel. n=1 to 14.
NOTE Setting trigger parameters in detail
For details of the trigger system, see Figure 6-7 on page 6-27.
The Single view provides the trigger types and parameters effective for setting
triggers easily. If you want to set the trigger parameters in detail, select the
MANUAL trigger type and use the Trigger Configuration dialog box opened by
pressing the Trigger > Config function keys. See “Trigger key group” on page 4-35.
The Single view does not contain the setup parameters for the arm layer, but
contains the setup parameters for the trigger layer. The Single view setup is given
priority over the trigger layer setup on the Trigger Configuration dialog box. Hence,
the overlapped parameter values on the dialog box are ignored.
