TRIGger:SWEep:SOURce AUTO|IMMediate | SINGle | EXTernal|BUS
The command sets the trigger source for all sweeps.
The names of the parameters correspond directly to the various settings under manual control. SCPI
uses other names for the parameters; these names are also accepted by the instrument. The SCPI
names should be used if compatibility is an important consideration.
An overview of the various names is given in the following table:
R&S name SCPI name Command under manual control
