SME TRIGger
1038.6002.02 3.127 E-13
:TRIGger1|2:LIST:SOURce AUTO | SINGle | EXTernal
The command specifies the trigger source. The naming of the parameters corresponds to the one
with sweep mode. SCPI uses other designations for the parameters the instrument accepts as
well. These designations are to be preferred if compatibility is important. The following table
provides an overview:
SME designation SCPI designation Command with manual control
AUTO IMMediate MODE AUTO
SINGle BUS MODE SINGLE or STEP
EXTernal EXTernal MODE EXT TRIG SINGLE or EXT TRIG STEP
AUTOThe trigger is free-running, i.e., the trigger condition is permanently fulfilled. As soon as the
list selected has been finished in the LIST mode, it is started anew.
SINGle Triggering is executed by means of IEC-bus command :TRIGger:LIST :IMM. The
list is executed once.
EXTernal Triggering is carried out from outside via the EXT.TRIG. socket or by the GET
command via IEC/IEEE-bus (see annex A). The list is executed once
Example: :TRIG:LIS:SOUR AUTO *RST value is SINGle
:TRIGger:MSEQuence
This node contains all commands to trigger a memory sequence. The commands are only valid
for TRIGger1.
:TRIGger:MSEQuence[:IMMediate]
The command immediately starts a memory sequence. It corresponds to the EXECUTE SINGLE
MODE command of the manual control in the MEMORY SEQUENCE menu. This command is an
event and thus has no *RST value.
Example: :TRIG:MSEQ:IMM
:TRIGger:MSEQuence:SOURce AUTO | SINGle | EXTernal
The command specifies the trigger source (cf. :TRIGger:SWEep:SOURce)
Example: :TRIG:MSEQ:SOUR AUTO *RST value is SINGle
:TRIGger:PULSe
This node contains all commands to trigger the pulse generator (option SM-B4). The commands
are only valid for TRIGger1.
