:SOURce?

 

[:IMMediate]

TRIGger[:IMMediate] causes a trigger to occur when the defined trigger

 

source is TRIGger:SOURce HOLD or TRIGger:SOURce BUS. Note that

 

TRIGger[:IMM] is not the same as TRIGger:SOURce IMM.

Comments

Executing the TRIGger[:IMMediate] Command: A channel list

 

must be defined with the [ROUTe:]SCAN <channel_list> command

 

and an INITiate[:IMMediate] command must be executed before

 

TRIGger[:IMMediate] can trigger the switchbox.

 

HOLD or BUS Source Remains: If selected, the TRIGger:SOURce

 

HOLD or TRIGger:SOURce BUS commands remain in effect after

 

triggering the switchbox with the TRIGger[:IMMediate] command.

 

Related Commands: INITiate, [ROUTe:]SCAN
