Initiate the Measurement Trigger System
Next, you must initiate or enable the measurement trigger system.
When the power system is turned on, the trigger system is in the idle
state. In this state, the trigger system is disabled, ignoring all triggers.
The INITiate commands enable the measurement system to receive
triggers. To initiate the measurement trigger system, use:
Front Panel:
Not Available
After a trigger is received and the data acquisition completes, the
trigger system will return to the idle state. Thus, it will be necessary
to initiate the measurement system each time a triggered
measurement is desired.
Trigger the Measurement
The trigger system is waiting for a trigger signal in the initiated state.
You can immediately trigger the measurement as follows:
Front Panel:
Not Available
As previously discussed, a trigger can also be generated by another
output channel or an input pin on the digital port connector. If any of
these systems are configured as the trigger source, the instrument
will wait indefinitely for the trigger signal. If the trigger does not
occur, you must manually return the trigger system to the idle state.
The following commands return the trigger system to the idle state:
Front Panel:
Select Measure\Control.
Then select the Abort control.
SCPI Command:
To initiate the measurement trigger
system for all four outputs:
INIT:ACQ (@1:4)
SCPI Command:
To generate a measurement trigger
on output 1:
TRIG:ACQ (@1)
Alternatively, if the trigger source is
BUS, you can also program a *TRG or
an IEEE-488 <get> command.
SCPI Command:
ABOR:ACQ (@1)
