TRIGger:DELay{OFF|ON|0|1}(?)
Description
This command will toggle the delayed trigger mode on and off. This command will affect the 5251 only after
it will be set to INIT:CONT OFF.
Note: System delay must always be considered when using an external trigger. System delay is measured
from a valid trigger input to the transition of the first waveform point. It has a fixed period that adds to the
programmed trigger delay value. Consult Appendix A for the system delay specification.
Parameters
Name Type Default Description
OFF Discrete OFF Turns the delayed trigger mode off.
ON Discrete Enables the delayed trigger mode.
Response
The 5251 will return OFF, or ON depending on the selected option.
TRIGger:DELayTime<time>(?)
Description
The trigger delay time parameter defines the time that will elapse from a valid trigger signal to the initiation of
the first output waveform. Trigger delay can be turned ON and OFF using the trig:del command. The trigger
delay time command will affect the generator only after it has been programmed to operate in interrupted run
mode. Modify the 5251 to interrupted run mode using the init:cont off command.
Parameters
Name Range Type Default Description
<time> 200e-9 to 20 Numeric 200e-9 Programs the trigger delay time.
Response
The 5251 will return the present trigger delay time value.
TRIGger:GATE{OFF|ON|0|1}(?)
Description
This command will toggle the gate run mode on and off. This command will affect the 5251 only after it will
be set to INIT:CONT OFF.
Parameters
Name Type Default Description
OFF Discrete OFF Turns the gate run mode off.
ON Discrete Enables the gated run mode.
Response
The 5251 will return OFF, or ON depending on the selected option.
