OUTPut

 

The OUTPut command subsystem enables you to route the multimeter’s voltmeter

 

complete signal to the VXIbus TTL trigger lines.

Subsystem Syntax

OUTPut

 

:TTLTrg<n>[:STATe] <mode>

 

:TTLTrg<n>[:STATe]?

:TTLTrg[:STATe]

OUTPut:TTLTrg<n>[:STATe] <mode> enables or disables routing of the voltmeter complete signal to the specified VXIbus trigger line (TTLTrg0 through TTLTrg7) on the backplane P2 connector.

Comments

You can substitute decimal values for the OFF (“ 0”) and ON (“ 1”) parameters.

The voltmeter complete signal is always routed to the multimeter’s front panel “VM Complete” BNC connector. When enabled ( ON), the OUTPut command also routes voltmeter complete to the specified trigger line on connector P2.

When disabled (OFF), voltmeter complete is routed only to the multimeter's front panel connector.

The multimeter generates the voltmeter complete signal after it has sampled the input for each reading. The length of time this low-going TTL signal is true (low) depends on the aperture time and on the autozero mode as shown below.

The VXIbus trigger lines are open-collector TTL lines that remain in a non-asserted (high) state until the voltmeter complete signal is sent.

More than one TTL output trigger line can be enabled at one time.
