Mode - HP 16533A Programmer's Manual

MODE

Command :TRIGger:MODE {EDGE|PATTern|IMMediate}
The MODE command allows you to select the trigger mode for the
oscilloscope. The EDGE mode will trigger the oscilloscope on an edge whose
slope is determined by the SLOPe command at a voltage set by the LEVel
command. The PATTern mode will trigger the oscilloscope on entering or
exiting a specified pattern of the two internal channels and external trigger.
In the IMMediate trigger mode, the oscilloscope goes to a freerun mode and
does not wait for a trigger. Generally, the IMMediate mode is used in
intermodule applications.
