Inside The Sequence Operation State; Common Trigger Configurations; The Init Configuration - HP 8360 User Handbook Manual

Inside the Sequence Operation State. Figure l-39 illustrates the
operation of the sequence operation state.
The downward entrance to the Sequence Operation State signals
that some instrument dependent action should begin at once. An
upward exit is not allowed until the instrument signals that its
action is complete. Note that complete can be defined differently for
different instruments. For example, consider an instrument that can
sweep a range of frequencies starting with fr and ending with fi. The
action-complete signal can be defined to coincide with the output of
either fr or f2.
Common Trigger In the previous paragraphs, you learned about the basic building
blocks allowed in a SCPI trigger system. Generally, an instrument

implements only a portion of the trigger features available. These
paragraphs discuss the simplest configurations: INIT and TRIG. "

The INIT Configuration

The
It uses no event detection states, and requires only two subsystems
for programming, INITiate and ABClRt . All SCPI instruments
implement these two subsystems
