Trigger Commands

Trigger commands consist of trigger and initiate commands. Initiate commands initialize the trigger system.

Trigger commands control the remote triggering of the dc source. They are used to generate output and measurement triggers.

NOTE: Before you generate a measurement trigger, you must specify either a voltage or current measurement acquisition using the SENSe:FUNCtion command.

ABORt

This command cancels any trigger actions presently in process. Pending trigger levels are reset to their corresponding immediate values. ABORt also resets the WTG bit in the status byte (see chapter 5 about programming the status registers). ABORt is executed at power turn on and upon execution of *RST.

Command Syntax	ABORt
Parameters	None
Examples	ABOR
Related Commands	INIT *RST *TRG TRIG

INITiate:NAME

This command controls the enabling of both output and measurement triggers. When a trigger is enabled, an event on a selected trigger source causes the specified triggering action to occur. If the trigger system is not enabled, all triggers are ignored.

Command Syntax INITiate[:IMMediate]:NAME <name>

Parameters TRANsient ACQuire

Examples INIT:NAME TRAN

Related Commands ABOR INIT:CONT TRIG *TRG

TRIGger:ACQuire

This command generates a measurement trigger. When the trigger system is initiated, the measurement trigger causes the dc source to measure either the output voltage or current and store the results in a buffer. The SENS:FUNC command determines which signal will be measured.

Command Syntax	TRIGger:ACQuire[:IMMediate]
Parameters	None
Examples	TRIG	TRIG:IMM
Related Commands	ABOR INIT	*TRG SENS:FUNC
