Trigger Commands
The trigger subsystem is made up of a series of commands and subsystems to configure the trigger
model.
TRIGger:SOURce
This command selects the trigger source. This command is not channel specific and applies to the
entire mainframe.
BUS
Accepts a GPIB signal or a *TRG command as the trigger source. This
selection guarantees that all previous commands are complete before the trigger
occurs.
EXTernal
Selects the electronic load’s trigger input as the trigger source. This trigger is
processed as soon as it is received.
HOLD
Only the TRIG:IMM command will generate a trigger in HOLD mode. All other
trigger commands are ignored.
MANUal The event occurs when the Trig key is pressed.
TIMer
This generates triggers that are in synchronization with the electronic load's
internal oscillator as the trigger source. The internal oscillator begins running as
soon as this command is executed. Use TRIG:TIM to program the oscillator period.
