Using The Instrument 3-23
Selecting the
Trigger Source
When an external source is not available, the operator has the
option to use either the built-in trigger generator or a
TTLTRG<n> signal to stimulate its output. Use the following
command to select the trigger source for the instrument:
TRIGger:SOURce: ADVance {EXTernal | INTernal | TTLTrg<n>}
EXT is the default trigger source for the Model 3152A. Select
the TTLT<n> option with <n> ranging from 0 to 7 to use one
of the TTLTRG lines available on the backplane. Select INT to
use the internal trigger generator. Remember to program the
period of this generator (as shown later).
The query:
TRIGger:SOURce:ADVance?
queries the trigger source and returns EXT, INT or TTLT<n>.
Using the Internal
Trigger Generator
The internal trigger generator is a free-running generator which
is asynchronous with the main output generator. When the
internal trigger source is selected, the front panel TRIG IN signal
is inactive. The internal trigger generator is also available in
Burst mode, but has no effect in Gated mode. To use the
internal trigger generator, place the instrument in Triggered
mode, but select the internal trigger generator as the trigger
source. Then use the following command to program an internal
trigger period:
TRIGger: TIMer <value>
The period of the internal trigger generator can be programmed
from 15 µs to 1000 s. The default period is 100 µs. The internal
trigger generator is ignored when either an external or TTLT
source is enabled
.
The query:
TRIGger:TIMer?
queries the period of the internal trigger generator and returns a
value in seconds.
