dependencies
The Status Operation Register bit 5 "Waiting for Trigger" is set at the same time as the Sweeping or
Measuring bit is set. It is cleared when the trigger actually occurs (that is, after the trigger event
occurs and all the applicable trigger criteria have been met). A corresponding pop-up message
("Waiting for trigger") is generated if no trigger signal appears after approximately 2 sec. This
message goes away when a trigger signal appears.
