[:SOURce]:SWEep:SWEep:TRIGger:TYPE
Syntax [:SOURce]:SWEep:SWEep:TRIGger:TYPE AUTO|KEY|BUS|EXT
[:SOURce]:SWEep:SWEep:TRIGger:TYPE?
Description Set the trigger mode of the sweep period.
Query the trigger mode of the sweep period.
Parameter
Name Type Range Default
AUTO|KEY|BUS|EXT Discrete AUTO|KEY|BUS|EXT AUTO
Explanation  AUTO: select "Auto" trigger mode. If the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the
instrument will start sweeping once a sweep manner is selected. If the sweep
mode is set to "Single", you need to send the
[:SOURce]:SWEep:EXECute
command to meet the single sweep condition; after that, the instrument will
start a sweep and then stops.
 KEY: select "Key" trigger mode. If the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the
instrument starts a sweep each time Key Trig is pressed; if the sweep mode is
set to "Single", you need to send the
[:SOURce]:SWEep:EXECute command to
meet the single sweep condition and after that, the instrument starts a sweep
and then stops each time Key Trig is pressed.
 BUS: select "Bus" trigger mode. If the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the
instrument starts a sweep each time the
*TRG
or
:TRIGger[:SWEep][:IMMediate] command is sent; if the sweep mode is set to
"Single", you need to send the
[:SOURce]:SWEep:EXECute command to meet
the single sweep condition and after that, the instrument starts a sweep and
then stops each time the
*TRG or :TRIGger[:SWEep][:IMMediate] command is
sent.
 EXT: select "Ext" trigger mode. The RF signal generator receives the trigger
signal input from the [TRIGGER IN] connector at the rear panel. If the sweep
mode is set to "Cont", the instrument starts a sweep each time a TTL pulse
signal with the specified polarity is received. If the sweep mode is set to
"Single", you need to send the
[:SOURce]:SWEep:EXECute command to meet
the single sweep condition; after that, the instrument starts a sweep and then
stops each time a TTL pulse signal with the specified polarity is received.
Note: The above explanations are only valid when the trigger mode of each
sweep point within the sweep period is met.
 When executing the sweep operation, the priority of the required conditions is:
single sweep  trigger mode  point trigger mode.
Return Format The query returns the trigger mode of the sweep. For example, AUTO.
