Common Trigger
Configurations
In the previous paragraphs, you learned about the basic building
blocks allowed in a SCPI trigger system. Generally, an instrument
implements only a portion of the trigger features available. These
paragraphs discuss the simplest configurations: INIT and TRIG.

The INIT Configuration

The INIT configuration is the simplest possible trigger configuration.
It uses no event detection states, and requires only two subsystems
for programming, INITiate and ABORt.
implement these two subsystems.
