Figure 4-2. Backplane Trigger and Trig Out Port
In order to use a trigger line or the Trig Out port, the trigger line or port
must be enabled. This is done with the commands:
n
OUTPut:ECLTrg< >[:STATe] 1 | ON
n
OUTPut:TTLTrg< >[:STATe] 1 | ON
OUTPut:EXTernal[:STATe] 1 | ON
The reset condition for each of these commands is
trigger line or the Trig Out port must be enabled before it can be used.
