TRIGger:B:EDGe? (Query Only)

Returns the trigger coupling, source, and slope for the B edge trigger.

Trigger

TRIGger:B:EDGe?

TRIGGER:B:EDGE?

might return

SOURCE CH1;COUPLING DC;SLOPE RISE

TRIGger:B:EDGe:COUPling

Sets or queries the type of coupling for the B edge trigger. This is equivalent to
setting

Coupling

in the

Trigger

menu.

Trigger

TRIGger:B:EDGe:COUPling { DC | HFRej | LFRej | NOISErej | AC }

TRIGger:B:EDGe:COUPling?

selects DC trigger coupling.

selects LFRej trigger coupling. AC coupling is for backward compatibility

and will not be returned by a query.

HFRej

coupling removes the high frequency components of the DC signal.

LFRej

coupling removes the low frequency components of the AC signal.

NOISErej

selects DC low sensitivity. It requires added signal amplitude for more

stable, less false triggering.

TRIGGER:B:EDGE:COUPLING DC

sets the B edge trigger coupling to DC.
