RIGOL  Programming Introduction 
 
Programming Guide for DS1000CA Series 
Example: 
:TRIG:EDGE:SWE AUTO                    Set the edge trigger mode as “AUTO” 
:TRIG:EDGE:SWE?        Query returns “AUTO” 
 
 
5.  :TRIGger<mode>:COUPling 
Command Format:   
:TRIGger<mode>:COUPling {DC|AC|HF|LF} 
:TRIGger<mode>:COUPling? 
 
Function Explanation: 
The commands are used to set and query the coupling mode as “DC”, “AC”, 
„HF” or “LF”. The options of <mode> are “:EDGE”, ”:PULSe” or “:SLOPe”. 
DC: Allow all signals pass 
AC: Block DC signals 
HF: Reject high frequency signals (Higher than 150kHz) 
LF: Reject DC and low frequency signals (Lower than 8kHz) 
 
Returned Format: 
Query returns “DC”, “AC”, “HF” or “LF”.   
 
Example: 
:TRIG:EDGE:COUP DC      Set the coupling mode as “DC” 
:TRIG:EDGE:COUP?       Query returns “DC” 
 
 
6.  :TRIGger:HOLDoff 
Command Format:   
:TRIGger:HOLDoff <count> 
:TRIGger:HOLDoff? 
 
Function Explanation: 
The  commands  are  used  to  set  and  query  trigger  holdoff.  The  range  of 
<count> is 500ns~1.5s. 
 
Returned Format: 
Query returns the set value of <count> in scientific numeric notation in s.
