Comments
•
Enabling Trig Out Port: When enabled, a pulse is output from the
"Trg Out" port after each scanned switchbox channel is closed. If
disabled, a pulse is not output from the port after channel closures.
The output pulse is a + 5 V negative-going pulse.
•
Trig Out Port Shared by Switchboxes: When enabled, the "Trig
Out" port is pulsed 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.
