•
Enabling “Trig Out” Port: When enabled, a pulse is output from
the “ Trig Out” port after each scanned switchbox channel is closed.
If disabled, a pulse is not output from the port after channel closures.
The output pulse is a +5 V negative-going pulse.
•
“Trig Out” Port Shared by Switchboxes: When enabled, the
“ Trig Out” port is pulsed by any switchbox each time a scanned
channel is closed. To disable the output for a specific switchbox,
send the
OUTPut[:STATe] OFF or OUTPut[:STATe] 0 command for
that switchbox.
