Comments

Enabling the Trigger Source: The TRIGger:SOURce command

only selects the trigger source. The INITiate[:IMMediate] command enables the trigger source.

Using the TRIG Command: You can use TRIGger[:IMMediate] to advance the scan when TRIGger:SOURce BUS or TRIGger:SOURce HOLD is selected.

Using Digital Bus Trigger: TRIGger:SOURce DBUS selects the digital bus on the multiplexer as the trigger. Any open collector TTL trigger source can be wired to the "Channel Advance" lead. A negative-going pulse triggers the multiplexer and advances it to the next channel on the scanning list. After the SETTling:TIME delay, the multiplexer asserts "Channel Closed" on the digital bus.

Using External Trigger Inputs: With TRIGger:SOURce EXTernal selected, only one switchbox at a time can use the external trigger input at the HP E1300A/E1301A Mainframe’s "Event In" port. The trigger input is assigned to the first switchbox requesting the external trigger source.

Assigning External Trigger: A switchbox assigned with

TRIG:SOUR EXT remains assigned to that source until the switchbox receives a command to change the source. When the source is changed, the external trigger source is available to another switchbox (with a TRIGger:SOURce EXTernal command). Another switchbox cannot receive an external trigger source if the source is already assigned, or an error is generated.

Using Bus Triggers: To trigger the switchbox with

TRIGger:SOURce BUS selected, use TRIGger[:IMMediate], the IEEE 488.2 common command *TRG or the HP-IB Group Execute Trigger (GET).

"Trig Out" Port Shared by Switchboxes: See the OUTPut command.
