TRIGger
The TRIGger command subsystem controls the behavior of the trigger system. The
subsystem can control:
The number of triggers to occur before the multimeter returns to the idle state
(
TRIGger:COUNt).
The delay between trigger and measurement (
TRIGger:DELay).
An immediate internal trigger (
TRIGger:IMMediate).
The source of the trigger (
TRIGger:SOURce).
Subsystem Syntax TRIGger
:COUNt <number>
:COUNt? [MIN | MAX]
:DELay <period>
:DELay? [MIN | MAX]
:DELay:AUTO <mode>
:DELay:AUTO?
[:IMMediate]
:SOURce <source>
:SOURce?
:COUNt
TRIGger:COUNt <number> sets the number of triggers issued or the number of
scans through the channel list.
Parameters
Parameter Name Parameter Type Range of Values Default Units
<number>
numeric 1 - 16,777,215 | MIN | MAX none
Comments •
MIN
selects 1 trigger (stand-alone multimeter) or 1 scan through the channel list
(scanning multimeter).
MAX selects 16,777,215 triggers or scans through the
channel list.
• If MAX or 16,777,215 is specified for the number parameter, an
“Out of memory” error occurs to show that this generates too many readings to
store in memory. However, you can use the
READ? command to return the
readings to the output buffer.
• In the scanning multimeter configuration, TRIGger:COUNt specifies the number of
scans through the channel list. To take several readings on a particular channel, the
multimeter must be programmed to scan only one channel (see
SAMPle:COUNt), or
scan the channel list multiple times.
