Measurement Operations & Settings

command:

:TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:OUTPut:REARm

 

syntax:

:TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:OUTPut:REARm<wsp>OFFON01

description:

Sets the arming response of a channel to an outgoing trigger.

N O T E

See Table Table 9 , for information on how this command affects the generation of

 

output triggers using power measurements.

parameters:

A boolean value:

OFF or 0: trigger rearming disabled

 

 

ON or 1: trigger rearming enabled (default)

N O T E

If you return to Local control, all modules return to the default setting.

response:

none

 

example:

trig1:outp:rearm 1

 

affects:

All Agilent 8163A/B series power meters, and Agilent 8161x series return loss modules.

dual sensors:

Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.

dual sensors:

:TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:OUTPut:REARm?

:TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:OUTPut:REARm?

Returns the arming response of a channel to an outgoing trigger.

none

A boolean value: 0: trigger rearming disabled (default) 1: trigger rearming enabled.

trig1:outp:rearm? → 0<END>

All Agilent 8163A/B series power meters, and Agilent 8161x series return loss modules.

Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel parameters are identical.

response:

example:

:TRIGger:CONFiguration

:TRIGger:CONFiguration<wsp><triggering mode>

Sets the hardware trigger configuration with regard to Output and Input Trigger Connectors.

0 or DISabled:

Trigger connectors are disabled.

1 or DEFault:

The Input Trigger Connector is activated, the incoming trigger response

 

for each slot “:TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:INPut” on page 173 deter-

 

mines how each slot responds to an incoming trigger, all slot events

 

(see “:TRIGger[n][:CHANnel[m]]:OUTPut” on page 176) can trigger the

 

Output Trigger Connector.

2 or PASSthrough:

The same as DEFault but a trigger at the Input Trigger Connector gener-

 

ates a trigger at the Output Trigger Connector automatically.

3 or LOOPback:

The same as DEFault but a trigger at the Output Trigger Connector gen-

 

erates a trigger at the Input Trigger Connector automatically.

none
