Running the trigger model
You can run the trigger model when the instrument is controlled either locally or remotely. Note that if
you change from remote to local control, the trigger model measurement method remains selected
until you change it.
When you run the trigger model, the existing instrument settings are used for any actions unless you
assigned configuration lists to the trigger model.
Trigger model operation is an overlapped process. This means that you can run other commands
while a trigger model is running if they do not conflict with trigger model operation. For example, you
can print the buffer contents, but you cannot change the measure function.
The initiate command is the overlapped command that starts the process. The command interface is
available immediately after the instrument executes the initiate command so that other commands
can be executed while the trigger model is running.
To change the measurement method, see
Switching between measurement methods
(on page 3-63).
