Trigger System Operation
1. IDLE state
The trigger system is in the IDLE state before the trigger sequence starts, after the trigger sequence
is terminated, and while the processes of this system are not performed such as a reset state.
2. INITiate state
The INITiate state means that the trigger system operation starts.
The IDLE state is changed to the INITiate state by using either of the following trigger system com-
mands: Starting the trigger system (INITiate), Setting CONTinuous to ON (INITiate:CONTinuous
{ON})
If CONTinuous is set to ON when the measurement is complete, the trigger system enters the INITiate
state without returning to the IDLE state and waits for the next trigger.
3. TRIGger waiting state
When the trigger event is detected from the selected trigger source, the device action starts after the
trigger delay time.
4. Device action
The measurement and calculations are performed.
