Comments

Enabling "Trig Out" Port: When enabled, a pulse is output from

 

the "Trig Out" port after each switchbox channel is closed. If

disabled, a pulse is not output from the "Trig Out" port after channel closures. The output pulse is a +5V negative-going pulse.

"Trig Out" Port Shared by Switchboxes: When enabled, the "Trig Out" port may be pulsed by any switchbox each time a scanned channel is closed. To disable the output for a specific switchbox, send the OUTPut[:STATe] OFF or OUTPut[:STATe] 0 command for that switchbox.

Related Commands: [ROUTE:]SCAN, TRIGger:SOURce

*RST Condition: OUTPut[:STATe] OFF (port disabled)
