		Programming Reference
		SCPI Instrument Command List
Command	:PULS:TRAN[1]:TRA:AUTO
Long	:[SOURce]:PULSe:TRANsition[1]:TRAiling:AUTO
Form	Set & Query
Parameter	ONOFFONCE
*RST value	ON
Description	Use this command to set/read the automatic coupling of the pulse trailing
	edge transition time to the leading edge transition time.
	ON	The trailing edge transition time is automatically
		set to the same value as the leading edge, and is
		updated automatically each time the leading edge
		transition time changes.
	OFF	The trailing edge transition time is independently
		programmable.
	ONCE	The trailing edge transition time is set ONCE to
		the same value as the leading edge.

Example	To set leading and trailing edges independently:
	:PULS:TRAN 6NS	Set OUTPUT leading edge to 6 ns
	:PULS:TRAN:TRA:AUTO OFF	Enable independent setting of trailing
		edge
	:PULS:TRAN:TRA 15NS	Set OUTPUT trailing edge to 15 ns

Command	:PULS:TRIG[1]:VOLT
Long	[:SOURce]:PULSe:TRIGger[1]:VOLTage[:LEVel][:IMMediate]
	[:AMPlitude]
Form	Set & Query
Parameter	TTL ECL
*RST value	TTL
Description	Use this command to set/read the output levels at the TRIGGER OUT
	connector.
