ABORt
ROUTe:SCAN
TRIGger[:SEQuence][:SOURce]
TRIGger[:SEQuence][:IMMediate]
TRIGger[:SEQuence][:COUNt]
TRIGger[:SEQuence][:DELay]

This command places the trigger subsystem in the armed state. In this state, a
trigger event enabled by the TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce command closes the
next relay in a scan sequence, after opening the previous relay in the sequence.
After a sufficient number of triggers have been received to cycle through a scan
list the number of times specified in a TRIGger:[SEQuence] :COUNt command,
the trigger subsystem is placed in the idle state. In this state, triggers are ignored.

Command

Response

(@m1(1,2),m2(60))

Define a scan sequence consisting of relays 1 and 2 on relay
module m1 and relay 60 on module m2.

trigger:sequence:count

Define the number of times to sequence through the scan list
before setting the state of the trigger subsystem back to the
idle state.

source hold

This command disables the following trigger sources: VXI TTL
triggers, VXI Trigger commands, *TRG command, and
Immediate triggers. The TRIGger[:SEQuence][:IMMediate]
command, however, overrides this command. It triggers the
module and skips the delay specified in a previously issued
TRIGger[:SEQuence]:DELay command.

initiate:immediate

Initiate the scan sequence.

trig
