OUTPut

The OUTPut command subsystem sets the source of output pulses for the specified TTL Trigger line (TTLT0-TTLT7) and enables or disables the output.

Subsystem Syntax OUTPut

:TTLT<n>:SOURce TRIGger SAMPle BOTH :TTLT<n>:SOURce?

:TTLT<n>[:STATe] ON 1 OFF 0 :TTLT<n>[:STATe]?

OUTput:TTLT<n>:SOURce

OUTPut:TTLT<n>:SOURce TRIG SAMP BOTH sets the source of output pulses for the specified TTL Trigger line. <n> can have the value 0 through 7 (TTLT0 - TTLT7).

Comments Output Pulses Triggering: The Digitizer allows separate control of the trigger signal and the sample signal output to the TTL trigger lines. Each can output to only a single line. However, they can both output onto the same line when the BOTH parameter is used. When BOTH is used, no other lines can be enabled. Output pulses will not be sent until the TTL trigger line state is set to ON.

Resource Conflicts: Resource conflicts will occur if either the trigger or sample source is already using a TTL line you attempt to enable. The trigger source will be set to IMMediate if it is the conflict. The sample source will be set to TIMer if it is the conflict. A “Settings Conflict” error will occur.

Settings Conflict Error: Setting the trigger or sample source to a TTL trigger line that has its output state ON will result in a “Settings Conflict” error and the output state will be changed to OFF. The specified trigger line will be assigned to the sample or trigger source.

Executable when initiated: NO

Coupled Command: YES

Reset (*RST) Condition: Source is SAMPle for all TTL lines

OUTPut:TTLT<n>:SOURce?

OUTPut:TTLT<n>:SOURce? queries the specified TTL Trigger line (TTLT0- TTLT7) to identify the source of output pulses. A response of “TRIG” indicates the source is a trigger event, a response of “SAMP” indicates the source is a sample event, and a response of “BOTH” indicates the source is both a trigger event and a sample event.
