Trigger commands controls the triggering of the electronic load. See also
CURRent:TRIGgered, POWer:TRIGgered, RESistance:TRIGgered, and
VOLTage:TRIGgered in the Input Commands section.

ABORt

This command applies only to trigger functions. It cancels all pending [:LEVel]:TRIG operations (such
as CURR:TRIG) in all operating modes and on all channels. As a result, subsequent triggers have no
effect on the input level. This command resets the WTG bit of the Operation Condition register and
has the same effect on status as the receipt of a trigger. ABORt has no affect on the Transient
Subsystem.

Command Syntax

ABORt

Parameters

None

TRIGger[:IMMediate]

When the trigger system has been initiated, this command generates a trigger signal regardless of the
selected trigger source.

Command Syntax

TRIGger
TRIGger:IMMediate

Parameters

None

TRIGger:DELay

This command sets the time delay between the detection of a trigger signal and the start of any
corresponding trigger action. After the time delay has elapsed, the trigger is implemented.

Command Syntax

TRIG:DEL

Parameters

0 - 65535 | MIN | MAX

Unit

ms

*RST Value

0

Query Syntax

TRIG:DEL?

Returned Parameters

integer representing trigger delay time

TRIGger:SOURce

This command selects the trigger source.

EXTernal

Selects the electronic load’s trigger input as the trigger source. This
trigger is processed as soon as it is received.

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.

ETHERNET Selects the Ethernet’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.

Command Syntax

TRIGger:SOURce

Parameters

EXTernal | BUS | ETHernet | HOLD
