Triggered Mode
In Triggered mode, the output remains at a certain DC level as long as
the TRIG IN signal from the front panel remains inactive. The trigger
input is sensitive to either a rising edge or a falling edge. Each time a
transition at the trigger input occurs, the Model 301/302 generates one
complete output waveform. At the end of the output cycle, the output
resumes position at a DC level that is equal to the amplitude of the
last point of the waveform.
The Triggered mode operates on standard, arbitrary and sequenced
waveforms. Observe the limitations of the trigger signal as listed in the
specification section of this manual. To place the Model 301/302 in
Triggered mode, use the following command:
INITitiate:CONTinuous {OFF | ON}
OFF places the instrument in Triggered mode. ON restores
continuous operation.
The query:
INITitiate:CONTinuous?
queries the instrument operating mode parameter and returns "0"
(OFF) or "1" (ON).
In WaveWiz, select trigger mode by clicking the diamond shaped
Trigger button under mode on the Trigger tab. (see Figure 3.12
above).
