TH2883 Series Operation Manual Chapter 8 SCPI Command reference
8-25
The *TRG command (trigger command) triggers a measurement and writes the tested waveform
data into the output buffer. This command is equal to TRIG+FETCh TWAVE? command.
Command syntax: *TRG?
For example: WrtCmd( “*TRG?” );
NOTE: This command is only available on the <MEAS DISP> pages. This command will
also be ignored when TH2883 is in the testing state. This command is only used to trigger a
measurement except for sampling a standard waveform. Refer to Standard WAVE Subsystem
commands for standard waveform test.
*IDN?
The *IDN? query returns the TH2883’s ID information.
Query syntax: *IDN?
Return format: <product>,<version><NL^END>
Where,
<product> TH2883-5 Impulse Winding Tester
<version> Software version number
8.4 Error and warning message
The bus commands may have some spelling errors, syntax errors or wrong parameters. TH2883
executes a command after the command is analyzed. If one of above errors occurs, TH2883 halts
the command analysis, and the rest commands will be ignored. If a command (for example a
trigger command is ignored.) is ignored, the rest commands will be executed. The error and
warning messages will be displayed on the system message line.
The following table shows the common error and warning messages, which will be displayed on
the message line when they occur.
Error message Description
Unknown message! Unknown command is received. Usually there is a spelling error in the
command.
For example: TRG should be TRIG
DISP:PAG MEAS should be DISP:PAGE MEAS
Data out of range! The data is out of range.
For example: IVOLT 60000, the impulse voltage is out of its range.
Error parameter! Unrecognizable parameter is used.
For example: TRIG:SOUR INTER, INTER is not the correct short-form
and should not used.
Error unit suffix! Units are unrecognizable, or the units are not correct.
