TRIGger:DELay
Syntax:
TRIGger:DELay
space
<delay time between buffered readings in sec, 0.000 to 0.050>
Example:
TRIG:DEL 5E-3
! SETS THE BURST MODE MEASUREMENT TIME TO
! 5 mS BETWEEN MEASUREMENTS
Example 2:
TRIG:DEL 0
! SETS THE BURST MODE MEASUREMENT TO THE
! MAXIMUM MEASUREMENT RATE
Description:
This command applies only to the GPIB BURSt Mode. It sets the time interval between the
measurements and is accurate to approximately 5%. This is the only way to control the
acquisition of individual data points in a burst measurement. Burst measurement data is taken
following or just prior to a single instrument trigger event. The number of measurements taken
is controlled by TRIGger:COUNt. Timing can be set in 0.001 second increments from 0.000 to
0.050 seconds, inclusive. Setting this control to 0.000 activates the highest reading rate
possible for the particular measurement conditions.
Generally, if the acquisition of individual data points with controlling triggering is required, the
GPIB SWIFt mode will provide the highest measurement rates, with or without SRQ or
hardware handshaking.
TRIGger:COUNt
Syntax:
TRIGger:COUNt
space
<number of data values to buffer in memory from 1 to 5000>
Example:
TRIG:COUN 100
! SETS THE BURST OR SWIFT MODE BUFFER READING TO 100
Description:
The power meter has an internal data buffer for storing measurement data until the slot 0
controller/resource manager is ready to read the data. During the GPIB SWIFt or GPIB BURSt
modes, this command controls the number of power readings that are stored in the 8650B data
buffer.
The value specified here applies to each individual channel. That is, if two sensors are
attached and calibrated, the 8652B will perform the specified measurement and buffering for
both channels. In the example shown above for this command, that would be 100 points per
channel.
The 8650B controls its gain ranges transparently by verifying internal range changes just
before and just after individual measurement points. If the internal range does not remain the
same, the data point will be disgarded as invalid. This can result in a successful GPIB BURSt
Mode measurement with less measurement data than expected according to the specified
COUNt# parameter.
During GPIB BURSt mode, the COUNt# of readings will be taken with just one instrument
trigger. During the GPIB SWIFt mode however, individual instrument triggers are used to
control the acquisition of individual data points. When triggering is set to EXTernal, the power
meter will perform one measurement each time it detects an external TTL level signal. The
value is then stored in the data buffer. This continues until the meter has received and
processed a COUNt# of triggers and also read in a COUNt# of data points to the buffer (as
some data points may be disgarded due to gain range conditions).
*WAI
Syntax:
*WAI
Example:
*WAI
! WAIT, FOLLOWING COMMAND COMPLETION
Description:
The *WAI command causes the power meter to wait until all previous commands and queries
are completed before continuing operation. It functions only when using the Normal mode of
operation.
NOTE:
Example programs for Instrument Triggering are contained in Appendix A of this publication.
