Triggers

The N6030A Series AWGs have four trigger inputs that can be used to
control waveforms in the sequencer. Hardware trigger inputs may be
configured to generate events on the rising or falling SYNC clock edges, but
not both at the same time. The trigger threshold can be set between -4.5 and
+4.5V. Ports 1 and 2 have a common threshold, and ports 3 an 4 have a
common threshold. These two common thresholds are not shared and can be
set independently.

Trigger delays can be set in increments of the SYNC clock (0-255 clocks).
The trigger input can be configured to initiate the following events through
the software Control Utility:
