Section 11: TSP command reference Model 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual
11-260 2601B-PULSE-901-01A April 2020
Details
Set this attribute to the event ID of any trigger event generator to wait for that event. When set, the
SMU waits for the event at the source event detector portion of the trigger model. To bypass waiting
for an event, set the value of this attribute to zero (0). Set eventID to one of the existing trigger
event IDs shown in the following table.
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 measurement 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
Occurs when a *TRG command is received on the
remote interface
GPIB only: Occurs when a GET bus command is
received
USB only: Occurs when a USBTMC TRIGGER message
is received
VXI-11 only: Occurs with the VXI-11 command
device_trigger; reference the VXI-11 standard for
additional details on the device trigger operation
trigger.blender[N].EVENT_ID
Occurs after a collection of events is detected
trigger.timer[N].EVENT_ID
Occurs when a delay expires
trigger.generator[N].EVENT_ID
Occurs when the trigger.generator[N].assert()
function is executed
* Use the name of the trigger event ID to set the stimulus value rather than the numeric value. Using the name makes the
code compatible for future upgrades (for example, if the numeric values must change when enhancements are added to the
instrument).
Example
smua.trigger.source.stimulus = digio.trigger[2].EVENT_ID
Configure to start its source action when a trigger event occurs on digital I/O line 2.
