Trigger Commands
Trigger commands control the transient and acquisition subsystems.
All TRIGger commands except for TRIGger:TRANsient[:IMMediate] and
TRIGger:TRANsient:SOURce require to be installed on models N673xA.
N674xA, N675xA, and N677xA.
TRIGger:ACQuire[:IMMediate] (@<chanlist>)
TRIGger:ELOG[:IMMediate] (@<chanlist>)
TRIGger:TRANsient[:IMMediate] (@<chanlist>)
These commands override any selected trigger source and generate immediate triggers.
TRIGger:ACQuire - Generates an immediate measurement trigger.
TRIGger:ELOG - Generates an immediate trigger for external data logging.
TRIGger:TRANsient - Generates an immediate output transient trigger.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) (none)
Generates an acquisition trigger: TRIG:ACQ (@1)
l You must initiate the applicable trigger system before you can send any trigger.
l At acquire trigger completion, the WTG-meas bit in the Status Operation Condition register is
cleared.
l At transient trigger completion, the WTG-tran bit in the Status Operation Condition register is
cleared.
TRIGger:ACQuire:CURRent[:LEVel] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
TRIGger:ACQuire:CURRent[:LEVel]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
TRIGger:ACQuire:VOLTage[:LEVel] <value>, (@<chanlist>)
TRIGger:ACQuire:VOLTage[:LEVel]? [MIN|MAX,] (@<chanlist>)
Sets the triggered level of the output. Applies when the measurement trigger source is set to a level.
Values are specified in either amperes or volts. The MIN and MAX values depend on the ratings of
the unit.
Parameter Typical Return
Current: 0 - maximum|MIN|MAX, *RST 0
Voltage: 0 - maximum|MIN|MAX, *RST 0
The maximum values are 102% of the rating of the module.
<triggered level>
Set the triggered current level to 3 A: TRIG:ACQ:CURR 3, (@1)
Set the triggered voltage level to 50 V: TRIG:ACQ:VOLT50, (@1)
