Initiate the Trigger System and Provide a Trigger
First, make sure that the selected output is enabled.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select the correct channel.
Press the On/Off key.
To enable output 1:
At turn-on, the trigger system is in the Idle state, in which all triggers are
ignored. Initiating the trigger system moves it from the Idle state to the
Initiated state, which enables the SAS to receive triggers.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select the Transient\Control.
Select Initiate to initiate the
trigger system.
To initiate the trigger system for
all outputs:
INIT:TRAN (@1,2)
NOTE
The largest lists can take up to one minute to initialize. When the tran-
WTG status bit is set, initialization is complete and the list is ready to
be triggered.
The trigger system is waiting for a trigger signal in the Initiated state.
You can immediately trigger the output as follows:
Select Transient\Control.
Select Trigger to generate an
immediate trigger. This
generates a trigger on both
output channels.
To generate an immediate trigger:
TRIG:TRAN (@1,2)
If the trigger source is BUS, you
can send *TRG or an IEEE-488
<get>.
When a trigger is received, the list is started and advances to the first
curve. Subsequent triggers will continue to pace the list. If the list is
dwell-paced, the dwell times will continue to pace the list.
If the list count is greater than one, you will need to initiate the transient
system again to trigger the next round. To keep the transient system
initiated, set the trigger action to Continuous mode.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select Transient\Control.
Check the Init Continuous box.
If a digital pin is configured as the trigger source, the instrument will
wait for the trigger signal. If the trigger does not occur, you can
manually return the trigger system to the Idle state.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Select Transient\Control.
Press Abort.
