Trigger Commands
Trigger commands consist of trigger and initiate commands.
Trigger commands control the remote triggering of the dc source . Trigger commands (and Initate commands) are referenced either by name or by number. The correspondence between names and numbers is:
Sequence Number | Sequence Name | Description |
1 (the default) | TRANsient | Output transient trigger sequence |
2 | ACQuire | Measurement acquire trigger sequence |
Initiate commands initialize the trigger system.
ABORt
This command cancels any trigger actions presently in process. Pending trigger levels are reset to their corresponding immediate values. ABORt also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Condition Status register (see chapter 3 under Programming the Status Registers). If INITiate:CONTinuous ON has been programmed, the trigger subsystem initiates itself immediately after ABORt, thereby setting WTG. ABORt is executed at power turn on and upon execution of *RCL or RST.
Command Syntax | ABORt |
Parameters | None |
Examples | ABOR |
Related Commands | INIT *RST *TRG TRIG |
INITiate:SEQuence
INITiate:NAME
INIT:SEQ2 or INIT:NAME ACQ applies to Agilent 66312A, 66332A Only
INITiate commands control the initiation of both output and measurement triggers. When a trigger is enabled, an event on a selected trigger source causes the specified triggering action to occur. If the trigger subsystem is not enabled, all trigger commands are ignored.
Command Syntax | INITiate[:IMMediate]:SEQuence[ 1 2 ] | |
| INITiate[:IMMediate]:NAME<name> | |
Parameters | For INIT:NAME | TRANsient ACQuire |
Examples | INIT:SEQ2 | INIT:NAME TRAN |
Related Commands | ABOR INIT:CONT TRIG TRIG:SEQ:DEF *TRG |
INITiate:CONTinuous:SEQuence1
INITiate:CONTinuous:NAME
These commands control the output transient trigger system.
1 or ON continuously initiates the output trigger system..
0 or OFF turns off continuous triggering. In this state, the output
trigger system must be initiated for each trigger using INITiate:SEQuence.
