microseconds. The pin's polarity setting determines which edge generates a trigger-in event. Positive
means a rising edge and Negative means a falling edge.
You can configure the scope, the data logger, and the arbitrary waveform generator to be triggered by
external trigger signals. Simply select BNC Trigger In as the trigger source when configuring the
scope, data logger, or arbitrary waveform generator. This will enable input trigger signals on the
configured digital pins as well as on the BNC trigger input connector. A trigger is generated when an
external signal that meets the signal criteria is applied to any configured trigger input pin or to the BNC
connector.
From the front panel:
To configure the trigger input function, press the Menu key, scroll down and select the Utilities item,
then select Digital I/O. Then press Enter. The Digital I/O window will appear as previously shown
under Bi-directional Digital I/O.
Select the pin you wish to configure from the Pin dropdown list.
Select the Trigger In function for the pin the from the Function dropdown list.
Configure the polarity for the pin by selecting the Polarity dropdown menu. Select either Positive or
Negative.
From the remote interface:
To select the trigger input function:
DIG:PIN1:FUNC TOUT
To select the pin polarity:
DIG:PIN1:POL POS
DIG:PIN1:POL NEG

Trigger Output

Any of the Digital Control pins can be programmed to function as a trigger output. All pins are
referenced to the Signal Common pin.
When configured as a trigger output, the designated trigger pin will generate a 10-microsecond
trigger pulse in response to a trigger event. The polarity setting can be either positive-going (rising
edge) or negative-going (falling edge) when referenced to common.
Trigger out signals can be generated when configuring User-defined voltage or current arbitrary
waveforms. If you check the Trigger box when configuring the User-defined arbitrary waveform, an
output trigger signal will be generated on the configured digital pin as well as on the BNC trigger
output connector at the start of the voltage or current step.
