Event blenders
The ability to combine trigger events is called event blending. You can use an event blender to wait
for up to four input trigger events to occur before responding with an output event.
You set the event blender operation using remote commands. You cannot set them up through the
front panel.
You can program up to two event blenders for the 2470.
Event blender operations
You can use event blenders to perform logical AND or logical OR operations on trigger events. For
example, trigger events can be triggered when either a manual trigger or external input trigger is
detected.
When AND operation is selected, the event blender generates an event when an event is detected on
all the assigned stimulus inputs.
When OR operation is selected, the event blender generates an event when an event is detected on
any one of the four stimulus inputs.
Using SCPI commands:
Send the command
:TRIGger:BLENder<n>:MODE
.
Set the command to
OR
or
AND
.
Using TSP commands:
Send the command
trigger.blender[
N
].orenable
.
Setting the command to
true
enables OR operation; setting it to
false
enables AND operation.
Assigning blender trigger events
Each event blender has four stimulus inputs. You can assign a different trigger event to each stimulus
input.
You set the blender stimulus events using remote commands. See the command descriptions for the
list of events that you can assign.
Using SCPI commands:
Send the command
:TRIGger:BLENder<n>:STIMulus<m>
.
Using TSP commands:
Send the command
trigger.blender[
N
].stimulus[
M
]
.
