Programming Output Steps
Front Panel Menu
SCPI Command
Select
Transient\Control
.
Scroll to Initiate. Then press
Select
.
To initiate the transient trigger system:
INIT:TRAN
It takes a few milliseconds for the instrument to be ready to receive a trigger signal after receiving the INITi-
ate:TRANsient command. If a trigger occurs before the trigger system is ready for it, the trigger will be ignored. You can
test the WTG_tran bit in the operation status register to know when the instrument is ready to receive a trigger.
Front Panel Menu
SCPI Command
Select
Transient\Control
.
The Trig state field indicates "Initiated".
To query the WTG_tran bit (bit 4):
STAT:OPER:COND?
If a bit value of 16 is returned in the query, the WTG_tran bit is true, and the instrument is ready to receive the trigger
signal. Refer to
Status Tutorial
for more information.
Trigger the output step
The trigger system is waiting for a trigger signal in the initiated state. Trigger the transient as follows:
Front Panel Menu
SCPI Command
Select
Transient\Control
.
Select Trigger to generate an immediate
trigger signal regardless of the trigger
source setting.
To generate a transient trigger:
TRIG:TRAN
Alternatively, you can also program a
*TRG or an IEEE-488 <get> command.
If the trigger does not occur, you must manually return the trigger system to the idle state. The following commands
return the trigger system to the idle state:
Front Panel Menu
SCPI Command
Select
Transient\Control
.
Then select the Abort control.
ABOR:TRAN
When a trigger is received, the triggered functions are set to their programmed trigger levels. When the triggered
actions are completed, the trigger system returns to the idle state.
You can test the TRAN_active bit in the Operation Status register to know when the transient trigger system has
returned to the idle state.
Front Panel Menu
SCPI Command
Select
Transient\Control
.
The Trig state field indicates "Idle".
To query the TRAN_active bit (bit 6):
STAT:OPER:COND?
If a bit value of 64 is returned in the query, the TRAN_active bit is true, and the transient action is NOT complete. When
the TRAN_active bit is false, the transient action is complete. Refer to
Status Tutorial
for more information.
