Description
0-1
Discrete
0
Toggles re-trigger mode.
Response
The 3152B returns 0 or 1 depending on the selected option.
RETRigger:TIMe <time>(?)
HS Syntax: 0161A<float>(?)
Description
Specifies the amount of time between the end of a waveform cycle and the beginning of the next waveform
cycle. The re-trigger interval is measured from waveform end to the triggering of a new waveform cycle to
start. The re-trigger command affects the generator when it is in an interrupted run mode which can be
selected using the INIT:CONT OFF command.

Default
Description
<time>
100e-9 to 20
Numeric
100e-9
Programs the re-trigger period. Programming resolution
is 20 ns across the range.
Response
The 3152B returns the current re-trigger period value.
TRIGger:TIMer <timer>(?)
HS Syntax: 1170A<float>(?)
Description
Specifies the period of the internal trigger generator. TRIG:TIM is used with the internally triggered run mode
only and has no affect on other trigger modes. The internal trigger generator is a free-running oscillator which
is asynchronous to the frequency of the output waveform. The timer intervals are measured from waveform
start to waveform start. Note that this differs from the re-triggered mode where there the delay time setting is
measured from waveform cycle end to the triggering of a new waveform cycle.

Description
<time>
1e-6 to 20
Numeric
15e-6
Programs the internal trigger generator period.
Response
The 3152B returns the current internal trigger period value.
Standard
Waveform Control
Commands
This group is used to control the standard waveforms and their
respective parameters. There is an array of standard waveforms that
could be used without the need to download waveform values to the
instrument. You can also modify the parameters for each waveform to
a shape suitable to your application.
Factory defaults after *RST are shown in the Default column.
Parameter range and low and high limits are listed, where applicable.
