:TRIGger[<n>][:IMMediate] 
 
Syntax 
:TRIGger[<n>] [:IMMediate] 
 
Description 
Generates a trigger on the specified channel. 
 
Parameter 
 
Remarks 
  This command is only applicable to the burst output (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:BURSt[:STATe]) or sweep 
output (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:SWEep:STATe) in manual trigger (:TRIGger[<n>]:SOURce). 
  When [<n>] is omitted, the system generates a trigger on CH1 by default. 
  If the output of the corresponding channel is not enabled, the trigger will be ignored. 
 
Example 
:TRIG1       /*Generates a trigger on CH1.*/ 
 
 
:TRIGger[<n>]:SLOPe 
 
Syntax   
:TRIGger[<n>]:SLOPe {POSitive|NEGative} 
:TRIGger[<n>]:SLOPe? 
 
Description   
Sets the edge type of the trigger input signal of the specified channel to Rising (POSitive) or Falling 
(NEGative). 
Queries the edge type of the trigger input signal of the specified channel. 
 
Parameter 
 
Remarks   
  This command is only applicable to the burst mode (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:BURSt[:STATe]) (N cycle, 
Infinite, or Gated) or sweep output (
[:SOURce[<n>]]:SWEep:STATe) in external trigger 
(
:TRIGger[<n>]:SOURce). In the External trigger, the signal generator receives the trigger signal input 
from the rear-panel [Sync/Ext Mod/Trig/FSK] connector. Once it receives a TTL pulse with a 
specified polarity, a burst output (N cycle, Infinite, or Gated) or sweep output is initiated. 
  When [<n>] is omitted, the system sets the related parameters of CH1 by default. 
 
Return Format 
The query returns POS or NEG. 
 
Example   
:TRIG1:SLOP NEG    /*Sets the edge type of the trigger input signal of CH1 to Falling edge.*/ 
:TRIG1:SLOP?        /*Queries the edge type of the trigger input signal of CH1 and the query returns 
NEG.*/
