Front Panel Reference
Trigger Key Group
Trigger Delay Delay time for the action specified by the Layer and Action
parameters, 0 to 100000 s
Trigger Output Trigger output, ON or OFF
Trigger output terminal, an internal bus (INT1, INT2), LAN port
(LAN), a digital I/O pin EXTn (n = 1 to 7), or TOUT (Trigger Out
connector)
If this parameter is ON, B2980 sends an output trigger when it
changes the trigger state for the action specified by the Layer
and Action parameters. See Figure 5-10 on page 238.
For using a digital I/O pin, it is necessary to set function of the
pin, output trigger polarity, type, pulse width, and so on. See
“DIO Configuration Dialog Box” on page 194 and “Using Digital
I/O and Trigger In/Out” on page 78.
For using the Trigger Out connector, it is necessary to set
output trigger polarity, type, pulse width, and so on. See “BNC
Configuration Dialog Box” on page 195.

Trigger Source Description
AUTO Trigger source best suited for the present operating mode is
automatically selected by the internal algorithms.
BUS Remote interface trigger command such as GET, TRIGger, and *TRG
TIMER Signal internally generated every interval set by the Period field
INT1 or INT2 Signal from the internal bus 1 or 2
LAN LXI trigger specified by the :ARM[:ACQ|:TRAN]:SOUR:LAN and
:TRIG[:ACQ|:TRAN]:SOUR:LAN commands
EXTn Signal from the DIO pin n, which is an I/O port of the Digital I/O
D-sub connector on the rear panel. n=1 to 7
TIN (Trigger In
connector)
Trigger signal to the Trigger In connector
