Details
The digital trigger pulsewidth command determines how long the trigger is asserted.
The trigger stimulus for a digital I/O line can be set to one of the trigger events that are described in
the following table.
Trigger events
Event description Event constant
N
(1 to 2), which combines trigger
events
A command interface trigger:
ï‚§ Any remote interface: *TRG
ï‚§ GPIB only: GET bus command
ï‚§ USB only: A USBTMC TRIGGER message
ï‚§ VXI-11: VXI-11 command device_trigger
Digital input line edge (either rising, falling, or either based on
the configuration of the line) detected on digital input line N
(1 to 6)
Front-panel TRIGGER key press
Appropriate LXI trigger packet is received on LAN trigger
object N (1 to 8)
N
(1 to 8) generates a trigger event when
the trigger model executes it
Source limit condition occurs
trigger.EVENT_SOURCE_LIMIT
Trigger timer N (1 to 4) expired
Line edge detected on TSP-Link synchronization line
N
(1 to 3)
Example
digio.line[2].mode = digio.MODE_TRIGGER_OUT
trigger.digout[2].stimulus = trigger.EVENT_TIMER3
Set the stimulus for output digital trigger line 2 to be the expiration of trigger timer 3.
