TRIGger:LEVel[?]   x to y 
TRIGger:LEVel sets the trigger threshold for internal triggering derived from the test signal (in W). This 
setting is irrelevant to all other trigger sources. If an s-parameter device is active and/or if a component 
with a global offset upstream from the sensor is considered, the currently effective trigger threshold as 
well as a trigger threshold to be input are referenced to the appropriately shifted sensor interface. When 
the s-parameter device and the offset correction are switched off, then the trigger threshold and its input 
limits are adjusted as necessary. 
 
The query yields the currently effective trigger threshold in W. 
 
Lower limit x and upper limit y of the trigger threshold 
SENSe:CORRection:OFFSet:STATe OFF:
x = <lower test limit in W> × 500 
y = <upper test limit in W> 
 
SENSe:CORRection:OFFSet:STATe ON:
x = <lower test limit in W> × 500 × 10
OFFSET / 10 dB
 
y = <upper test limit in W> × 10
OFFSET / 10 dB
 
<lower test limit in W>:  The nominal lower test limit of the sensor or of the twoport/sensor 
combination (with activated s-parameter correction) 
<upper test limit in W>:  The nominal upper test limit of the sensor or of the twoport/sensor 
combination (with activated s-parameter correction) 
 
The nominal test limits can be read out with the SYSTem:INFO? "MINPOWER"  and  SYSTem:INFO? 
"MAXPOWER" command. 
 
Default setting: 10 × x
TRIGger:SLOPe[?]   POSitive | NEGative 
TRIGger:SLOPe  defines the edge of the trigger event with internal and external triggering in the 
Continuous Average, Timeslot Average, and  Trace modes. In this connection, positive means 
increasing envelope power (with internal triggering) or increasing voltage (with external triggering). As in 
the Burst Average mode, this command has no effect in conjunction with trigger sources BUS, HOLD 
and IMMediate. 
The query yields 
• 1 for POSitive,
• 2 for NEGative.
Default setting: POSitive 
 
TRIGger:SOURce[?]   HOLD | IMMediate | INTernal | BUS | EXTernal | 
TRIGger:SOURce sets the trigger source. 
 
• HOLD: Triggering only with command TRIGger:IMMediate.
• IMMediate: Automatic triggering without explicit event. 
• INTernal: Triggering by the measurement signal. Relevant parameters: 
  TRIGger:LEVel, TRIGger:SLOPe, TRIGger:DELay, TRIGger:HYSTeresis, 
  TRIGger:HOLDoff.
• BUS: Triggering with command *TRG or TRIGger:IMMediate.
• EXTernal: Triggering via the hardware trigger bus, e.g. via the R&S NRP-Z3 USB adapter 
  or the R&S NRP base unit. Relevant parameters: 
  TRIGger:SLOPe, TRIGger:DELay, TRIGger:HOLDoff.
