Programming the
Trigger System
In This Subsection
This subsection discusses the layered trigger model used in SCPI
instruments. It also outlines some commonly encountered trigger
configurations and programming methods. Trigger system topics are
explained in the following paragraphs:
Generalized Trigger These paragraphs explain the structure and
Model
components of the layered trigger model used in
all SCPI instruments.
Common Trigger
Configurations
These paragraphs explain the
and TRIG
configurations implemented in the swept signal
generator.
Trigger Command
These paragraphs provide condensed definitions

Understanding trigger systems requires more technical expertise than
most other topics covered in this section. If you find this subsection
difficult, keep in mind that you do not have to program the trigger
system to make measurements or output signals. Using
READ, or
you can avoid having to learn the information in
this subsection.
Generalized Trigger
Model
Overview
An instrument trigger system synchronizes instrument actions
with specified events. An instrument action may be to make a
measurement or source an output signal. The events used to
synchronize these actions include software trigger commands,
changing signal levels, and pulses on BNC connectors. The trigger
system also lets you specify the number of times to repeat certain
actions, and delays between actions.
Figure l-35 shows a simplified view of the generalized SCPI trigger
model. Instruments may implement some or all of this model, to
accommodate varying needs. Each unshaded block in Figure l-35
represents a particular
trigger state.
The generalized trigger model
allows an arbitrary number of event-detection states. Note that there
can be two paths into a state and two paths out of a state. These are
called the downward entrance and exit, and the upward entrance and
exit.
Upward
means moving towards the idle state and
downward
means moving towards instrument actions.
