 IMM PGM MIP 
USAGE    ♦     ♦ 
 
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.
