Triggering Commands
INITiate
Cause the trigger system to initiate. This command completes one full trigger cycle
when the trigger source is an immediate and initiates the trigger subsystem when the
trigger source is bus.
TRIGger:DELay {
<seconds>
| MINimum | MAXimum}
Set the time delay between the detection of an event on the specified trigger source
and the start of any corresponding trigger action on the power supply output. Select
from 0 to 3600 seconds.
MIN
= 0 seconds.
MAX
= 3600 seconds. At
*RST
, this value
is set to 0 seconds.
TRIGger:DELay?[MINimum | MAXimum]
Query the trigger delay.
TRIGger:SOURce {BUS | IMMediate}
Select the source from which the power supply will accept a trigger. The power supply
will accept a bus (software) trigger or an internal immediate trigger. At
*RST
, the
bus trigger source is selected.
TRIGger:SOURce?
Query the present trigger source. Returns ‘‘BUS’’ or ‘‘IMM’’.
*TRG
Generate a trigger to the trigger subsystem that has selected a bus (software) trigger
as its source
(TRIG:SOUR BUS)
. The command has the same effect as the Group
Execute Trigger (GET) command. For RS-232 operation, make sure the power supply
is in the remote interface mode by sending the
SYST:REM
command first.
