[Timing] Trigger
The global trigger functionality allows for triggered control of the timing of shape waveforms.
The trigger can be used to control the stepping through of the points of a shape waveform, in
this case an input trigger event is required in order for the source setting to move onto the next
level.
The input trigger can also be used to repeat shape waveforms, in order to source the next
waveform shape.
The global input trigger event can be provided by remote command using the command
SYST[em]:TRIG[ger] or from pin 8 on the DIO port.
Once the event has been triggered and all associated measurements to that event have been
made, the instrument sets a global trigger output on PIN 7 of the DIO port.
This combination of global trigger in and trigger out allows for the handshaking of multiple
instruments. For more information see ‘
