Introduction

[:SENSe]:EVENt[12]:LEVel[:ABSolute]:AUTO <Boolean>

Query Response

Comments

Sets or queries the “auto-trigger “ enable.

When AUTO is set to ON, the Counter automatically measures and computes a trigger level which corresponds to the auto-trigger percentage (specified with [:SENS]:EVEN[12]:LEV:REL) of the specified channel.

While the enable is set to ON, the Counter will measure and compute the measurement channel(s) trigger level(s) each time :INIT or :INIT:CONT ON is executed. Also, for each measurement, while the enable is set to ON, the Counter will check that the measurement signal(s) are triggering— if no triggering is found, the Counter will measure and compute new trigger level(s).

Single ASCII-encoded byte, 0 or 1.

A value of 0 indicates OFF; a value of 1 indicates ON.

*RST: ON

Explicitly selecting a trigger level (with [:SENS]:EVEN[12]:LEV[:ABS]) turns AUTO OFF.
