Trigger.timer[N].Count - Tektronix Keithley SourceMeter 2470 Reference Manual

Section 14: TSP command reference

trigger.timer[N].count

This attribute sets the number of events to generate each time the timer generates a trigger event or is enabled as
a timer or alarm.
Type TSP-Link accessible
Attribute (RW) Yes
Usage
count = trigger.timer[N].count
trigger.timer[N].count = count
count
N
Details
If the count is set to a number greater than 1, the timer automatically starts the next trigger timer
delay at the expiration of the previous delay.
Set the count to zero (0) to cause the timer to generate trigger events indefinitely.
If you use the trigger timer with a trigger model, make sure the count value is the same or more than
any count values expected in the trigger model.
Example 1
print(trigger.timer[1].count)
Read trigger count for timer number 1.
Example 2
reset()
trigger.timer[4].reset()
trigger.timer[4].delay = 0.5
trigger.timer[4].start.stimulus = trigger.EVENT_NOTIFY8
trigger.timer[4].start.generate = trigger.OFF
trigger.timer[4].count = 20
trigger.timer[4].enable = trigger.ON
trigger.model.load("Empty")
trigger.model.setblock(1, trigger.BLOCK_BUFFER_CLEAR, defbuffer1)
trigger.model.setblock(2, trigger.BLOCK_NOTIFY, trigger.EVENT_NOTIFY8)
trigger.model.setblock(3, trigger.BLOCK_WAIT, trigger.EVENT_TIMER4)
trigger.model.setblock(4, trigger.BLOCK_MEASURE, defbuffer1)
trigger.model.setblock(5, trigger.BLOCK_BRANCH_COUNTER, 20, 3)
