68 Relay Multiplexer Command Reference Chapter 3
OUTPut
The OUTPut command subsystem selects the source of the output
trigger generated when a channel is closed during a scan. The selected
output can be enabled, disabled, and queried. The three available
outputs are the ECLTrg, TTLTrg trigger buses as well as the command
module’s (E1406A) front panel "Trig Out" port.

OUTPut:ECLTrgn[:STATe]
OUTPut:ECLTrgn[:STATe] <mode> selects and enables which ECL
Trigger bus line (0 or 1) will output a trigger when a channel is closed
during a scan. This is also used to disable a selected ECL Trigger bus
line. "n" specifies the ECL Trigger bus line (0 or 1) and "mode" enables
(ON or 1) or disables (OFF or 0) the specified ECLTrg bus line.
Parameters
Comments Enabling ECL Trigger Bus: When enabled, a pulse is output from the
selected ECL Trigger bus line (0 or 1) after each channel is closed during
a scan. If disabled, a pulse is not output. The output is a negative-going
pulse.
ECL Trigger Bus Line Shared by Switchboxes: Only one switchbox
configuration can use the selected trigger at a time. When enabled, the
selected ECL Trigger bus line (0 or 1) is pulsed by the switchbox each
time a scanned channel is closed. To disable the output for a specific
switchbox, send the OUTPut:ECLTrgn OFF or 0 command for that
switchbox.
