* Use the name of the trigger event ID to set a stimulus value rather than the numeric value. Using the
name makes the code compatible for future upgrades (for example, if the numeric values must change
when enhancements are added to the instrument).
** smuX can be smua for SMU Channel A or smub for SMU Channel B

Using the remote trigger model

The source-measure unit (SMU) in the Series 2600B has a remote trigger model that supports a wide
range of triggering features for source sweeps, triggered measurements, and pulse actions.
Measurements using the trigger model can be made synchronously with sourcing actions, or they can
be made asynchronously. The following figures graphically illustrate both modes of the remote trigger
model.
