Using the Solar Array Simulator 4
Series E4360 User’s Guide 77
Select the Pacing and Time Interval
Data capture can be trigger-paced or a time-paced. Specify TRIGger to
select trigger-paced data capture, or TIMer to select time-paced data
capture. With time-paced data capture, you must also specify the time
interval. The minimum time interval is 20 milliseconds. The maximum
interval is 65.535 seconds.
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Not available.
To select trigger-paced data capture:
SENS:DLOG:CLOC TRIG,(@1)
To select time-paced data capture:
SENS:DLOG:CLOC TIM,(@1)
To specify a time interval of 1 second:
Select the 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:DLOG command to trigger the output,
select a trigger source from the following:
Bus
Selects GPIB device trigger, *TRG, or <GET> (Group Execute Trigger).
Dlog
<channel>
Selects an output channel’s datalog timer as the trigger source.
<channel> specifies the channel.
Pin<number>
Selects a pin on the external port connector as the trigger source.
<n> specifies the pin number. The selected pin must also be
configured as a Trigger Input to be used as a trigger source (see
Appendix B).
Transient
<channel>
Selects an output channel’s transient system as the trigger source.
<channel> specifies the channel.
Use the following commands to select a trigger source:
Front Panel:
SCPI Command:
Not available.
To select bus as the trigger source:
TRIG:DLOG:SOUR BUS,(@1)
To select a channel’s dwell output:
TRIG:DLOG:SOUR DWEL<n>,(@1)
To select a pin as the trigger source:
TRIG:DLOG:SOUR PIN<n>,(@1)
To select a transient channel:
TRIG:DLOG:SOUR TRAN<n>,(@1)
Because data logging happens at event triggers, it is recommended to
use hardwire triggers on the external digital port connector to
synchronize data logging on multiple units.
