TRIGger:A:TYPe
Description
This command sets or queries the type of A trigger. The five types of
triggers are of Edge, Logic, Pulse, Video, and Communication (Option
SM). Logic and Pulse triggers contain classes. Logic triggers consist of
State and Pattern classes; Pulse triggers consist of Glitch, Runt, Width,
Transition, and Timeout classes. Once you have set the trigger type,
you may also need to identify the associated trigger class. For details on
selecting Logic and Pulse trigger classes, see TRIGger:A:LOG-
Ic:CLAss and TRIGger:A:PULse:CLAss respectively. This command is
similar to selecting A Event (Main) Trigger Setup from the Trig menu
and then selecting the desired Trigger Type.
