TRIGgerSTARtTIMer1, Reference period to | HP E1429A specs

TRIGger[:STARt]:TIMer[1]

∙The active edges for the various sources are as follows:

ECLtrg0, ECLtrg1 and DECLtrg active edge is the rising edge.

TTLTrg<n> and DTTLtrg active edge is the falling edge.

EXTernal1, EXTernal2, and DEXTernal active edge is the falling edge.

∙When using DECLtrg, DEXTernal, or DTIMer, at least one pre-arm pulse must occur after the arming signal has been received. This means that after the pre-arm count is reached and the arm is accepted, there must be another pre-arm pulse which arrives ([reference period * 3] + 60 ns) after the arming signal. This would typically be 210 ns if SENSe:ROSCillator:SOURce is INTernal. The digitizer does not sample on the additional pulse.

∙When TIMer is the source, the desired period must be specified by the TRIGger:STARt:TIMer1 and/or the TRIGger:STARt:TIMer2 commands. See these commands for a table of allowable values.

[:STARt]:TIMer[1]

TRIGger[:STARt]:TIMer[1] <period > specifies the time period between each sampling event. The time period must be a multiple of the reference oscillator period, with allowable multiples being 1,2,4,10,20,40,........1E8, 2E8, 4E8. See the

table below for the exact periods available with the internal 20 MHz reference.
