Trigger events are identified by means of an event ID. The following table describes the trigger
event IDs.
smua.trigger.SWEEPING_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the source-measure unit (SMU)
transitions from the idle state to the arm layer of the
trigger model
smua.trigger.ARMED_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU moves from the arm layer to the
trigger layer of the trigger model
smua.trigger.SOURCE_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU completes a source action
smua.trigger.MEASURE_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU completes a measure action
smua.trigger.PULSE_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU completes a pulse
smua.trigger.SWEEP_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU completes a sweep
smua.trigger.IDLE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU returns to the idle state
digio.trigger[N].EVENT_ID
Occurs when an edge is detected on a digital I/O line
tsplink.trigger[N].EVENT_ID
Occurs when an edge is detected on a TSP-Link line
Occurs when the appropriate LXI trigger packet is
received on LAN trigger object N
Occurs when the TRIG key on the front panel is
pressed
