Sync

: The sync trigger mode adjusts the internal trigger sampling to align with the sync 

trigger, otherwise the TSM-PM operates on its internal trigger. For instance, this is 

useful for aligning samples to a GPS Pulse Per Second clock so multiple instruments can 
trigger simultaneously without being connected to the same trigger. Sync pulses can 

have a very long time between pulses. 

 

Display Command 

The 

‘display’

 command prints a 

table indicating the name and 

description of each signal 

available, whether it is tagged 

or not, what the tag value is, 

how many decimals are 

displayed, whether the signal is 

enabled to be added to the serial output string, and the units for each measurement. 

Show, Hide, Tag, Untag, and Decimal Commands 

The ‘

show

’, ‘

hide

’, ‘

tag

’, ‘

untag

’, and ‘

decimal

’ commands operate similarly. They enable a 

measurement, disable a measurement, display the tag for a measurement, remove the tag for a 

measurement, or adjust the number of decimals for an output; respectively. 

When invoked without a parameter, they display the options available. The ‘

show

’ command 

only lists the values that are available to be shown, similarly the ‘

hide

’ command only lists the 

values that can be hidden. (The ‘

hide

’ command provides a convenient list of all values currently 

being displayed.) The ‘

tag

’ and ‘

untag

’ commands show only the values available to be tagged 

and untagged, and the ‘

decimal

’ command only lists the values that allow changing their decimal 

resolution. 

Tag and Parameter Delimiters (New in 2.0) 

The display output can be modified by changing the delimiters between the tag and the 

parameter value, and between measurement values. The tag delimiter is a single character 

display immediately after the parameter tag and is controlled by the 

tagdelim

 command. The 

delimiter between measurement values is a single character displayed immediately after the 

parameter value is displayed. This value is controlled by the 

paramdelim

 command. The default 

value for both delimiters is a space character.
