Starting (Triggering) Measurement
System-wide states and transitions
Idle state
When the following commands are executed, the trigger system transitions to
the idle state (e in
power-on. Because the continuous activation of the trigger system and the
trigger mode are set to ON and internal trigger, respectively, at power-on, the
trigger system immediately transitions to the waiting for trigger state and then
repeats the transition between the measurement state and the waiting for
trigger state.

Waiting for trigger state (trigger event detect state)
The waiting for trigger state, when the instrument is triggered (a trigger is
detected) or the :TRIGger[:SEQ1][:IMMediate]
executed, transit to the measurement state.
As shown in the table below, the instrument triggering method differs
depending on which trigger mode is set. To set up the trigger mode, use the

Instrument triggering method
The instrument is automatically triggered within itself.
The instrument is triggered when a trigger signal is input
through the Ext Trig terminal or the handler/scanner interface.
