Extended Trigger Configuration

This section includes information for ad vanced users about how to

customize your use of the trigger system.

You can configure the ouputs and inputs from two nodes, Node A and

Node B. See Figure 7 on page 180 for more information on Node A and

Node B. You can configure these nodes to be triggered by certain events

and for these nodes to trigger particular actions.

command: :TRIGger
syntax: :TRIGger<wsp>NODEA|1|NODEB|2
description: Generates a hardware trigger.
parameters: 1 or NODEA:
2 or NODEB:

Use “:TRIGger:CONFiguration:EXTended” on page179 to configure Node A and Node B .
NOTE “:TRIGger” on page 172 describes the :TRIGger comm and for basic users.
