Trigger the Output
The trigger system is waiting for a trigger signal in the initiated state.
You can immediately trigger the output as follows:
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select Transient\Control.
Select Trigger to generate an
immediate trigger signal regardless
of the trigger source setting.
To generate an immediate trigger on
channel 1:
TRIG:TRAN (@1)
Alternatively, if the trigger source is
BUS, you can also program a *TRG or
an IEEE-488 <get> command
When a trigger is received, the triggered functions are set to their
programmed trigger levels. When the triggered actions are completed,
the trigger system returns to the idle state.
As previously discussed, a trigger can also be generated by another
output channel or by a trigger signal applied to an input pin on the
digital port connector. If any of these systems are configured as the
trigger source, the instrument will wait indefinitely for the trigger
signal. If the trigger does not occur, you must manually return the
trigger system to the idle state.
The following commands return the trigger system to the idle state:
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Select Transient\Control.
Scroll to and select Abort.
ABOR:TRAN (@1)
Generate Trigger Out Signals
Each output channel can generate trigger signals that can be used by
other output channels, or routed to a pin on the digital port that has
been configured as a trigger output (TOUT). Use the following
commands to program transient trigger signals that are generated
when an output Step occurs:
Front Panel: SCPI Command:
Use the Channel key to select the
channel that is the trigger source.
Select Transient\Step.
Check Enable Trigger Output. Then
press Select.
To program channel 3’s step function
to generate a trigger signal, use
STEP:TOUT ON,(@3)
