System Trigger Count
The number of system triggers the counter will receive before returning to the idle
state from the wait-for-trigger state is set with the command:
TRIGger:COUNt {<count>|MINimum|MAXImum|DEFault}
TRIGger:COUNt? [{MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault}] (query form)
The trigger count range is 1 to 1,000,000. CONFigure and MEASure set a default
trigger count of ‘1’.
Trigger Count Example
//configure for frequency, set system trigger parameters
CONF:FREQ 5E6,0.1,(@2)
TRIG:SOUR EXT // trigger source external
TRIG:SLOP POS // external trigger slope - positive
TRIG:DEL 1 // 1s delay after trigger received
TRIG:COUN 2 // accept 2 system triggers
Sample Count
The trigger count multiplied by the sample count (TRIG:COUN x SAMP:COUN)
determines the number of readings taken before the counter returns to the idle
state. The sample count is set with the command:
