:trigger:state?
:trig:stat?
Return
Parameter
<NR1>
Trigger state
0
Un-triggered
1
Triggered
CAUTION:
This function is designed for triggering with slow
time-bases or for single shot events. This query will
return 0 before the trigger point and 1 after a trigger
point (if any).
However with quicker time-bases in auto mode, a
periodic waveform is constantly re-sampled and
thus re-triggered each time, resulting in the query
returning 0 before each trigger. Therefore with
quicker time bases, this will usually result in 0 being
returned, even if the waveform is shown as
triggered.
Example
:trigger:state?
0
Returns the current trigger
state as un-triggered.
