IMMediate. INITiate:PROGram pulls the TRIGger subsystem out of the IDLE state
and starts (initiates) the trigger function.
If the trigger source is set to IMMediate, the sequence starts immediately. If the
trigger source is set to BUS, the TRIGger subsystem enters the WTG (Waiting For
Trigger) state. When a software trigger is received (through the TRIGger:PROGram
command or *TRG command), the sequence starts. When the sequence finishes, the
TRIGger subsystem enters the IDLE state again. If the ABORt command or an equiv-
alent command is received in the WTG state or when a sequence is being executed,
the sequence is canceled, and the TRIGger subsystem returns to the IDLE state.
TRIGger:PROGram:IMMediate only applies a software trigger to the PROGram
group.
You can also use the *TRG command or the IEEE488.1 get (Group Execute Trigger)
command for the same purpose. This command applies a software trigger to all trig-
ger subsystems, if there are other trigger subsystems in the initiated state, their trig-
ger operations will also be executed at the same time.
When all the PROGram processes are complete, the product
ʼ
s settings are those of
the last step.
If the output is on in the last step of the sequence, the output will remain on when the
sequence is completed.
