5 Triggering and Gating
162 Keysight 53220A/53230A User’s Guide
The system trigger is configured using the commands within the TRIGger and
SAMPle subsystems. Figure 5-3 show the sequence in which the commands are
commonly used.
The system trigger source which starts the trigger/gate cycle is set with the
command:
TRIGger:SOURce {IMMediate|EXTernal|BUS}
TRIGger:SOURce? (query form)
–trigger source IMMediate sets a continuous trigger signal. By default,
CONFigure sets the trigger source to IMMEDiate.
– trigger source EXTernal sets the trigger source to an external trigger applied
to the rear panel ‘Trig In’ BNC connector.
– trigger source BUS causes the instrument to be triggered by the *TRG
command received over an IO interface.
Trigger source example
//configure for frequency, set system trigger parameters
CONF:FREQ 5E6,0.1,(@2)
TRIG:SOUR EXT // trigger source external
System trigger slope
When the system trigger source is set to EXTernal, the triggering slope (edge) of
the signal is set with the command:
TRIGger:SLOPe {POSitive|NEGative}
TRIGger:SLOPe? (query form)
