This chapter describes how to trigger the instrument to start measurement and
how to detect completion of measurement.
Starting (Triggering) Measurement
Trigger system
The trigger system is responsible for tasks such as detecting the start of a
measurement cycle (triggering) and controlling the system state. As
shows, the trigger system has a system-wide state that can be "Idle," "Waiting
for Trigger," or "Measurement."

The following subsections describe each state and explain how the trigger
system switches among the states.
