8.5.2 Output Trigger
Rear panel connector J3-3 (Refer to section 4.3.2). There are three output trigger modes:
Programming Mode NONE, FIX:
• OFF – No Trigger out.
• In TRIG mode, trigger is generated when output status changes.
• In Function Strobe mode, an output pulse is generated automatically any time an output
parameter such as output, voltage or current is programmed.
Programming modes LIST or WAVE:
• OFF – No Trigger out.
• In TRIG mode, trigger is generated when LIST or WAVE is completed.
• In Function Strobe mode, an output pulse is generated automatically any time a step is competed.
Output Trigger mode settings:
1. Press MENU button. MENU (green) LED illuminates. ”set” message appears on the Voltage
display.
2. Rotate Voltage encoder until ”t ri G” message appears.
3. Press Voltage encoder. ”init” message appears on Current display.
4. Rotate Voltage encoder until ”TR
. Ov” message appears. Press Voltage encoder.
5. ”Tr  Ov” message appears on Voltage Display and ”OFF” , ”T Ri G ”, ”F . Str” messages appear on
Current display. Rotate to scroll list and press Current encoder to select.
8.6 Transient Waveform Example
8.6.1 Wave Programing
1. Select required transient operation mode Insert communication command ( Example: VOLT:MODE
WAVE ).
2. Set Voltage values Insert communication command ( Example: WAVE:VOLT 5,10,10,0 ).
3. Set Timing values Insert communication command ( Example: WAVE:TIME 0,2,3,2 ).
4. Set Counter value for sequence execution ( Example: WAVE:COUN 2 ).
5. Set Step parameter AUTO or ONCE ( Example: WAVE:STEP AUTO ).
6. In this step possible store program in memory and continue programming without PC
connection Insert communication command ( Example: WAVE:STORe 2 ).
7. Recycle AC power. Set OUT ON.
8.6.2 Wave Execution via Communication PC
1. Load stored data Insert communication command ( Example: WAVE:LOAD 2 )
2. Set COUNTER (How many times program will be repeated if STEP in AUTO mode).
Insert communication command ( Example: WAVE:COUN 2 )
3. Set Trigger IN source (BUS for Command or Front Panel and EXT via Rear Panel J3-8 pin)
Insert communication command (Example: TRIG:SOUR BUS)
4. Set Trigger Initialize Continue mode ( If 1 then after program execution power supply will
be ready for next trigger. If 0 then send INIT command to get to the next trigger. Insert
communication command (Example: INIT:CONT 1)
5. Send INIT command. (Power supply ready for TRIGGER). Insert communication command
(Example: INIT).
6. Send *TRG command or press Current encoder.
NOTE:
In order to be able to change the transient operation mode while the power supply is
ready for trigger and not in an idle state, send ABORt and then set INIT:CONT 0.
