Select the Measurement Trigger Source
NOTE
An immediate trigger command over the bus will generate an
immediate trigger regardless of the trigger source.
Unless you are using the TRIG:ACQ:IMM command to trigger the
measurement, select a trigger source from the following:
Bus
Selects GPIB device trigger, *TRG, or <GET> (Group Execute Trigger).
Pin<number>

The selected pin must be configured as a Trigger Input to be used as
a trigger source (see Appendix B)
Transient
<channel>
Selects the output channel’s transient system as the trigger source.
<channel> specifies the channel.
The trigger source can only be selected using the following SCPI
commands. The front panel only displays the trigger source that is

Initiate the Measurement Trigger System
When the SAS is turned on, the trigger system is in the Idle state. In this
state, the trigger system is disabled, ignoring all triggers. The INITiate
commands enable the measurement system to receive triggers. To

front panel only displays the trigger state.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:

After a trigger is received and the measurement completes, the trigger
system returns to the Idle state. Thus, it will be necessary to initiate the
measurement system for the next triggered measurement.
