[SOURce:]VOLTage[:LEVel]:TRIGgered[:AMPLitude]? [MIN|MAX]
This query checks and returns the presently programmed triggered voltage level. If no
triggered level is programmed, the VOLTage value is returned.
VOLTage:TRIGgered? Return the VOLTage value or the set triggered voltage
level of the selected output
VOLTage:TRIGgered? MAX Return the maximum programmable voltage values of
the selected output
VOLTage:TRIGgered? MIN Return the minimum programmable voltage values of
the selected output
Trigger Source Choice
The power supply’s system allows a change in the output of the power supply when
receiving a trigger. Triggering the power supply includes internal immediate trigger
and bus trigger.
Triggering the power supply is a multi-step process:
1. Select an output with the INST:[SELect] command and then configure the power
supply for the triggered output level by using CURRent:TRIGgered and
VOLTage:TRIGgered.
2. Specify the source from which the power supply will accept the trigger. The power
supply will accept a bus (software) trigger or an immediate trigger.
3. Set the time delay between the detection of the trigger on the specified trigger
source and the start of any corresponding output change. Notice that the time delay is
valid for only the bus trigger source.
4. Execute an INITiate[:IMMediate] command. If the IMMediate source is selected,
the selected output is set to the triggered level immediately. But if the trigger source is
the bus, the power supply is set to the triggered level after receiving the Group
Execute Trigger (GET) or *TRG command.
Selecting a Trigger Source
You must specify the source from which the power supply will accept a trigger. The
trigger is stored in volatile memory; the source is set to bus when the power supply
has been off or after a remote interface reset.
Bus (Software) Triggering
1. Select the bus trigger source by sending the following command.
TRIGger:SOURce BUS
2. Trigger the power supply from the remote interface by sending the *TRG command.
And the power supply outputs specified triggered output level after the set time delay
