HP WaterSkis E1312A manual TRIGger, RST Condition Trigcoun Example Set the Trigger Count

MIN selects 1 trigger. MAX selects 50,000 triggers.

TRIGger

	The TRIGger command subsystem controls the behavior of the trigger system. The
	subsystem can control:
	• The number of triggers to occur before the multimeter returns to the idle state
	(TRIGger:COUNt).
	• The delay between trigger and measurement (TRIGger:DELay).
	• The source of the trigger (TRIGger:SOURce).
Subsystem Syntax	TRIGger
	:COUNt <number>MINMAXINFinite
	:COUNt? [MINMAX]
	:DELay <seconds>MINMAX
	:DELay? [MINMAX]
	:DELay:AUTO OFFON
	:DELay:AUTO?
	:SOURce BUSIMMediateEXTernalTTLTrg0-7
	:SOURce?

:COUNt

TRIGger:COUNt <number> sets the number of triggers to be issued.

Comments •

•If MAX or 50,000 is specified for the number parameter, the command will be accepted. If you initiate measurements with an INITiate command, an “Insufficient memory” error occurs to show that this generates too many readings to store in memory. However, you can use the READ? command to return the readings to the output buffer and retrieve them with your controller. The READ? command is a combined INITiate and FETCh? command.

•CONFigure and MEASure set the trigger count to 1.

•*RST Condition: TRIG:COUN 1

Example Set the Trigger Count

CONF:VOLT:DC	Function: DC voltage.
TRIG:SOUR EXT	Trigger source is “Trig” BNC on multimeter
TRIG:COUN 10	front panel.
	Multimeter will accept 10 external triggers
READ?	(one measurement is taken with each trigger).
	Place multimeter in wait-for-trigger state;
	make measurement when external trigger is
enter statement	received; send readings to output buffer.
	Enter readings into computer.
