TRIGger:COUNt
Syntax
TRIGger:COUNt {<count> | MINimum | MAXimum | DEFault}
TRIGger:COUNt? [{MINimum | MAXimum | DEFault}]
Description
This command selects the number of triggers that will be accepted by the instrument before returning to
the "idle" trigger state.
Parameters
Name Type Range of Values Default Value
<count> Numeric 1 to 1,000,000
MIN = 1
MAX = 1,000,000
1
Remarks
l You can use the specified trigger count in conjunction with a sample count (see SAMPle:COUNt com-
mand) which selects the number of measurements (samples) the meter will take per trigger. In this case,
the total number of measurements returned will be the product of the sample count and trigger count.
Number of Readings = Sample Count x Trigger Count
If more than 1,000,000 measurements are to be taken, the data must be read from reading memory
fast enough to avoid a memory overflow. If memory overflows, the new measurements will over-
write the first (oldest) measurements stored; the most recent measurements are always preserved.
No error is generated, but the Reading Mem Ovfl bit (bit 14) is set in the Questionable Data Register.
l The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically set the trigger count to 1.
l The trigger count setting is ignored when making continuous, gap-free frequency and period meas-
urements ([SENSe:]FREQ:MODE CONT set), continuous totalize and timestamp measurements. Only
one trigger will be accepted for each READ? or INITiate[:IMMediate] command.
l The instrument sets the trigger count to 1 after a Factory Reset (*RST command) or an Instrument Pre-
set (SYSTem:PRESet command).
Return Format
The query returns the trigger count in the form +100.
