Trigger Subsystem

This subsystem controls the triggering of the ac source. See Chapter 4 under "Triggering Output Changes" for an explanation of the Trigger Subsystem. The INITiate commands control the initialization of both the transient and measurement trigger systems.

NOTE: The trigger subsystem must first be enabled using the INITiate commands or no triggering action will occur.
