syntax:
:TRIGger[

][:CHANnel[
m
]]:INPut?
description:
Returns the incoming trigger response.
parameters:
none
response:
IGNore:

NEXTstep:
SWStart:
Ignore incoming trigger.
Start a single measurement. If a measurement function is active, see
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe
on page 104, one sample is performed and
the result is stored in the data array, see
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:RESult?
on page 100.
Start a complete measurement. If a measurement function is active, see
:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:STATe
on page 104, a complete measurement
function is performed.
Perform next step of a stepped sweep.
Start a sweep.
example:
trig1:inp?
->
ign<END>
affects:
All tunable laser modules (except 81950A), power meters, and return loss modules, and attenuators with power control.
dual sensors:
Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel parameters are identical.
command:
:TRIGger[
n
][:CHANnel[
m
]]:INPut:REARm
syntax:
:TRIGger[
n
][:CHANnel[
m
]]:INPut:REARm<wsp>OFF|ON|0|1
description:
Sets the arming response of a channel to an incoming trigger.
See
on page -208, for information on how this command affects triggering power measurements.
parameters:
A
boolean
value:
OFF
or
0
: trigger rearming disabled
ON
or
1
: trigger rearming enabled (default)
If you return to Local control, all modules return to the default setting.
response:
none
example:
trig1:inp:rearm 0
affects:
All 8163A/B series power meter modules, and 8161x series return loss modules.
dual sensors:
Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
