Trigger Commands

Trigger commands consist of the Abort, Trigger, and Initiate commands. Initiate commands initialize the trigger system. Trigger commands control the triggering of the power supply.

ABORt

This command cancels any trigger actions in progress and returns the trigger system to the IDLE state, unless INIT:CONT is enabled. It also resets the WTG bit in the Status Operation Condition register. ABORt is executed at power-on and upon execution of *RST.

INITiate[:IMMediate][:TRANsient]

This command controls the enabling of output triggers. When a trigger is enabled, a trigger causes the specified triggering action to occur. If the trigger system is not enabled, all triggers are ignored.

INITiate:CONTinuous[:TRANsient] ONOFF

INITiate:CONTinuous[:TRANsient]?

This command continuously initiates output triggers. The enabled state is On (1); the disabled state is Off (0). When disabled, the trigger system must be initiated for each trigger with the INITiate command.

TRIGger[:TRANsient][:IMMediate]

If the trigger system has been initiated, this command generates an immediate output trigger. When sent, the output trigger will:

Initiate an output change as specified by the CURR:TRIG or

VOLT:TRIG settings.

Clear the WTG bits in the Status Operation Condition register after the trigger action has completed.

TRIGger:SOURce BUS

TRIGger:SOURce?

This command selects the trigger source for the output trigger system. Only BUS can be selected as the trigger source.

*TRG

This command generates a trigger when the trigger source is set to BUS. The command has the same affect as the Group Execute Trigger (<GET>) command.
