To disable triggering on the hardware trigger lines, set the mode to bypass. This allows direct control
of the line.

Pulsewidth
Specifies the pulse width of the output trigger signal when the hardware line is asserted.
Trigger configuration on hardware lines
The Series 2600B can be configured to send digital signals to trigger external instruments. Linking
these output triggers to the completion of certain source-measure actions enables hardware
handshaking. The programming example below illustrates this.
-- Configure the Series 2600B to detect a rising
-- edge on digital I/O line 2.
digio.trigger[2].mode = digio.TRIG_RISINGA
digio.trigger[2].clear()
-- Configure SMU A to start its source action when a
-- trigger event occurs on digital I/O line 2.
smua.trigger.source.stimulus = digio.trigger[2].EVENT_ID
-- Configure digital I/O line 4 to output a 1 ms
-- rising-edge trigger pulse at the completion of
-- SMU sweep.
digio.trigger[4].mode = digio.TRIG_RISINGM
digio.trigger[4].pulsewidth = 0.001
digio.trigger[4].stimulus = smua.trigger.SWEEP_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
This example’s triggering setup is shown in the following figure.
