Trigger Commands

Trigger commands consist of trigger and initiate commands.
Initiate commands initialize the trigger system. Trigger commands control the remote triggering of the
dc source. Trigger commands (and Initate commands) are referenced either by name or by number. The
correspondence between names and numbers is:
Sequence Number
1 (the default)
2

ABORt

This command cancels any trigger actions presently in process. Pending trigger levels are reset to their
corresponding immediate values. ABORt also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Condition Status
register (see chapter 7 about programming the status registers). If INITiate:CONTinuous ON has been
programmed, the trigger subsystem initiates itself immediately after ABORt, thereby setting WTG.
ABORt is executed at power turn on and upon execution of *RCL or RST.
Command Syntax ABORt
Parameters None
Examples ABOR
Related Commands INIT
INITiate:SEQuence
INITiate:NAME
INITiate commands control the initiation of both output and measurement triggers. When a trigger is
enabled, an event on a selected trigger source causes the specified triggering action to occur. If the trigger
subsystem is not enabled, all trigger commands are ignored.
Command Syntax INITiate[:IMMediate]:SEQuence[ 1 | 2 ]
Parameters TRANsient | ACQuire (for INIT:NAME )
Examples INIT:SEQ2
Related Commands ABOR INIT:CONT TRIG
INITiate:CONTinuous:SEQuence1
INITiate:CONTinuous:NAME TRANsient
These commands control the output transient trigger system.
1 or ON continuously initiates the output trigger system..
0 or OFF turns off continuous triggering. In this state, the output trigger system must be initiated
for each trigger using INITiate:SEQuence.
Command Syntax INITiate:CONTinuous:SEQuence1 <bool>
Parameters 0 | 1 | OFF | ON
Examples INIT:CONT:SEQ ON
