A.16 *TRG — TRIGGER COMMAND
*TRG
Syntax:
*TRG
Description: Triggers the power supply to be commanded to preprogrammed values of output current and
voltage. When the trigger is armed (checked by examining WTG bit in Status Operational Condition
register) *TRG generates a trigger signal. The trigger will change the output of the power supply to the
output voltage and current levels specified by VOLT:TRIG and CURR:TRIG commands and clear the
WTG bit in the Status Operation
Condition register. If INIT:CONT has been issued, the trigger
subsystem is immediately rearmed for subsequent triggers, and the WTG bit is again set to
1. *TRG or GET are both addressed commands (only devices selected as listeners will exe-
cute the command).
Related Commands:
ABOR, INIT, TRIG, CURR:TRIG, VOLT:TRIG.

A.17 *TST? — SELF TEST QUERY
*TST?
Syntax:
*TST?
Returned value: 0 or 1 (0 = pass test, 1 = fail test)
Description:
Power Supply test.This query causes the power supply to do a self test and provide the controller
with pass/fail results. A cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is performed on non-volatile RAM. A “1” is
returned if there is an error.
