Trigger Commands
With continuous triggering disabled, the trigger system must be initiated for each trigger using the INITi-
l
ate:TRANsient command.
ABORt:TRANsient does not abort continuous triggers if INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient ON has been pro-
l
grammed. In this case, the trigger system will automatically re-initiate.
TRIGger:TRANsient[:IMMediate]
Generates an immediate trigger. This overrides any selected trigger source. Transient triggers affect the output
voltage and output current.
Parameter
(none)
Generates a transient trigger: TRIG:TRAN
You must initiate the trigger system before you can send any trigger.
l
When sent, the transient trigger will cause an output change as specified by the CURRent:TRIGgered or
l
VOLTage:TRIGgered commands.
When the trigger sequence completes, the WTG-tran bit in the Status Operation Condition register is cleared.
l
TRIGger:TRANsient:SOURce < source >
TRIGger:TRANsient:SOURce?
Selects the transient trigger source. BUS is the only trigger source that can be selected. This selects a remote trigger
interface command as the trigger source.
Parameter
BUS
Example: TRIG:TRAN:SOUR BUS
*TRG
Trigger Command. Generates a trigger when the trigger system has BUS selected as its source. The command has the
same affect as the Group Execute Trigger (<GET>) command).
Parameter
(none)
Generates an immediate trigger: *TRG
