SYNTAX ESnn or ES?
PARAMETERS
Description nn [ string ] - ASCII command string (184 characters max)
Range nn - Limited to existing (non-query) command support
or ? to read the current setting
Units None
Defaults nn missing: To clear command string and disable event action
DESCRIPTION This command is used to define (and enable) or disable (if null string) an event
action command string to be performed when an external trigger occurs.
This command is effective only if it is used in conjunction with ASCII command,
DC with data acquisition mode set to either 3 or 33. If the number of samples to
be collected is specified to be 1 using DC command, the event action is initiated
immediately following the detection of an external trigger. However, if the
number of samples is specified to be greater than 1, the event action is initiated
only after all the external triggers—equal to the number of samples required to
complete the data acquisition—are detected by the controller.
Note:
The external source for triggering data acquisition process (modes 3, 33 and 39)
should be connected to pin #20 on the auxiliary I/O connector. Please refer to the
appendix on Connector Pin Assignments for further details.
RETURNS If the “?” sign takes the place of nn value, this command reports the current
ASCII command string for event trigger command processing.
