Usage
:TRIGger:LOAD "DurationLoop", <duration>
:TRIGger:LOAD "DurationLoop", <duration>, <delay>
:TRIGger:LOAD "DurationLoop", <duration>, <delay>, "<readingBuffer>"
<duration>
The amount of time for which to make measurements (167 ns to 100 ks)
<delay>
The delay time before each measurement (167 ns to 10 ks); default is
0
for no delay
<readingBuffer>
A string that indicates the reading buffer; the default buffers (
defbuffer1
or
defbuffer2
) or the name of a user-defined buffer; if no buffer is specified,
defbuffer1
is used
Details
When you load this predefined trigger model, you can specify amount of time to make a
measurement and the length of the delay before the measurement.
After selecting a trigger model template, you can view the trigger model blocks in a graphical format
by pressing the front-panel
MENU
key and under Trigger, selecting
Configure
. You can also add or
delete blocks and change trigger model settings from this screen. You can use the
TRIGger:BLOCk:LIST?
command to view the trigger model blocks in a list format.
This command replaces the
TRIGger:LOAD:LOOP:DURation
command, which is deprecated.
Example
*RST
SOUR:FUNC VOLT
SOUR:VOLT 5
SENS:FUNC "CURR"
TRIG:LOAD "DurationLoop", 10, 0.01
INIT
Reset the instrument. Set the instrument to
source voltage at 5 V. Set to measure
current.
Load the Duration Loop trigger model to take
measurements for 10 s with a 10 ms delay
before each measurement.
Start the trigger model.
