4 Operating the Power System
70 Keysight N6700 User’s Guide
If a trigger occurs before the trigger system is ready for it, the trigger will
be ignored. You can test the WTG_tran bit in the operation status
register to know when the instrument is ready to receive a trigger after
being initiated.
Not Available
To query the WTG_tran bit (bit 4):
If a bit value of 16 is returned in the query, the WTG_tran bit is true, and
the instrument is ready to receive the trigger signal. Refer to the N6700
Programmer’s Reference Help file for more information.
Unless INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient is programmed, it will be
necessary to initiate the transient trigger system each time a triggered
action is desired.
The trigger system is waiting for a trigger signal in the initiated state.
You can immediately trigger the output as follows:
Select
.
Select Trigger to generate an
immediate trigger signal
regardless of the trigger source
setting.
To generate an immediate trigger
on channel 1:
TRIG:TRAN (@1)
Alternatively, if the trigger source
is BUS, you can also program a
*TRG or an IEEE-488 <get>
command
As previously discussed, a trigger can also be generated by another
output channel or by a trigger signal applied to an input pin on the
digital port connector. If any of these systems are configured as the
trigger source, the instrument will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal.
If the trigger does not occur, you must manually return the trigger
system to the idle state.
The following commands return the trigger system to the idle state:
Select
.
Scroll to and select Abort.
When a trigger is received, the triggered functions are set to their
programmed trigger levels. When the triggered actions are completed,
the trigger system returns to the idle state.
You can test the TRAN_active bit in the operation status register to know
when the transient trigger system has returned to the idle state.
