The SENSor suffix, <chn>, specifies the channel (1 or 2). The response to this command is a number that indicates the state of the sensor on the specified channel. A value of 0 indicates a sensor is connected and reading properly. The table below details all other possible values. Note that the response may indicate more than one of the following conditions.

TRIGger:TIMer? [MINMAXDEF]

Returns the measurement period setting in seconds. Example: TRIG:TIM?

Response: 1

Specifying the MIN, MAX, or DEF parameter returns the minimum, maximum, or default value respectively.

TRIGger:TIMer <num>MINMAXDEF

Sets the measurement period setting in seconds. Example: TRIG:TIM 30

The <num> parameter can be one of the following values: 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120, 300, 600, 900, 1200, 1800 or 3600. If a value other than one listed here is used, the instrument automatically selects the nearest acceptable value that is less than the value entered. Values greater than 3600 or less than 1 are ignored and cause a -222, “Data out of range” error. Specifying the MIN, MAX, or DEF parameter sets the measurement interval timer to the minimum, maximum, or default value respectively. The *RST command sets the measurement period to 2 seconds. This command may be password protected (see Password Commands).
