IOtech GPIB Command Associated MCC GPIB 488.2 Command
Trigger Trigger
Syntax
Trigger {
IOtech
} INT WINAPI Trigger(DevHandleT devHandle);
Trigger {
MCC
} Trigger(int board, short address)
Usage Notes
Trigger {
IOtech
} – IOtech’s Trigger command issued a Group Execute Trigger (GET) bus
command to a specified device. If no interface device was specified, then the GET only
affected a device that was already in the Listen state, as a result of a previous Output or Send
command.
Trigger {
MCC
} – This command triggers one device. When this call is executed, the GPIB
GET (Group Execute Trigger) message is sent to the specified device. To trigger several GPIB
devices, use TriggerList.
The following example triggers a device connected to board 0, whose primary GPIB address is
6 and secondary address is 12.
Example:
Trigger (0, MakeAddr (6, 12));
