Starting (Triggering) Measurement

Two methods to perform a measurement at your desired time:
Triggering the instrument at your desired time
Step 1. Use the :TRIGger[:SEQ1]:SOURce command to set the trigger mode to the
Bus mode.
Step 2. If the trigger system has not started up (in the idle state), use the
:INITiate:CONTinuous command to turn ON the continuous activation of the
trigger system.
Step 3. Trigger the instrument at your desired time. An external controller can trigger
the instrument with one of the following two commands:
Step 4. To repeat measurement, repeat Step 3.
Starting up the trigger system at your desired time
Step 1. If the trigger system has started up (in a state other than the idle state), use
the :INITiate:CONTinuous command to turn OFF the continuous activation of
the trigger system and then use the :ABORt command on page 164 to stop
the trigger system.
Step 2. Set the trigger mode to the internal trigger with the :TRIGger[:SEQ1]:SOURce
command.
Step 3. Start up the trigger system with the :INITiate[:IMMediate] command on
page 228 at your desired time. The instrument will be automatically triggered
by the internal trigger and measurement will be performed once.
Step 4. To repeat measurement, repeat Step 3.
