Trigger Input Controls

These commands control the parameters of trigger inputs.

Trigger inputs are identified using a zero-based index. Input A of the left-most trigger output is 

indexed with zero.

:TRIGger:INPut:COUN?

Syntax: 

:TRIGger:INPut:COUNt?

Returns the number of available trigger inputs.

Example query: 

TRIG:INP:COUN?

Example response: 

2

:TRIGger:INPut#:IDENtifier?

Syntax: 

:TRIGger:INPut#:IDENtifier?

Returns the unique identifier for this trigger input. This identifier is required when defining events 

(see page 59), or when defining a triggered sequence start condition (see page 42).

Example query: 

TRIG:INP0:IDEN?

Example response: 

"TRIGGER0"

:TRIGger:INPut#:TERMinated

Syntax: 

:TRIGger:INPut#:TERMinated <bool>

Enables or disables the termination relay for this trigger input.

Example command: 

TRIG:INP0:TERM ON

:TRIGger:INPut#:TERMinated?

Syntax: 

:TRIGger:INPut#:TERMinated?

Returns the current state of the termination relay for this trigger input.

Example query: 

TRIG:INP0:TERM?

Example response: 

1

:TRIGger:INPut#:THReshold

Syntax: 

:TRIGger:INPut#:THReshold <threshold>

Sets the threshold level, in volts, for this trigger input.

Example command: 

TRIG:INP0:THR -300e-3
