TRIGger:SOURce {IMMediate|EXTernal|BUS}
TRIGger:SOURce?
Select the source from which the function generator will accept a trigger. The
function generator will accept an immediate internal trigger, a hardware trigger
from the rear-panel Trig In connector, or a software (bus) trigger. The default is
IMM. The :SOUR? query returns "IMM", "EXT", or "BUS"

edge polarity specified by the TRIG:SLOP command (see page 227). Note that
the trigger period must be greater than or equal to the specified sweep time

generator waits for all pending operations to complete before executing any
