Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\Control.
Navigateto Initiate. Then press Select.
To initiatethe transient trigger system:
INIT:TRAN (@1)
It takes a few milliseconds for the instrument to be ready to receive a trigger signal after receiving the
INITiate:TRANsient command.
If a trigger occurs before the trigger system is ready for it, the trigger will be ignored. You can test the
WTG_tran bit in the operation status register to know when the instrument is ready to receive a
trigger.
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Not Available To query the WTG_tran bit(bit4):
STAT:OPER:COND? (@1)
If a bit value of 16 is returned in the query, the WTG_tran bit is true, and the instrument is ready to
receive the trigger signal. Refer to Status Tutorial for more information.
Unless INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient is programmed, it will be necessary to initiate
the transient trigger system each time a triggered action is desired
Trigger the output step
The trigger system is waiting for a trigger signal in the initiated state. You can immediately trigger the
output as follows:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\Control.
Navigateto Trigger. This generates an immediatetrigger
signal regardless of the trigger source setting. Then
press Select.
To generatea transient trigger:
TRIG:TRAN (@1)
Alternatively, you can also program a *TRG or an
IEEE-488 <get> command.
As previously discussed, a trigger can also be generated by another output channel or by a trigger
signal applied to an input pin on the digital port connector. If any of these systems are configured as
the trigger source, the instrument will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal. If the trigger does not
occur, you must manually return the trigger system to the idle state.
The following commands return the trigger system to the idle state:
Front Panel Menu Reference SCPI Command
Select Transient\Control.
Navigateto Abort. Then press Select.
ABOR:TRAN (@1)
When a trigger is received, the triggered functions are set to their programmed trigger levels. When
the triggered actions are completed, the trigger system returns to the idle state.
