About Trigger Mode

Description

These settings determine what EACH signal will trigger.

Note: Setting Point and EverySweep mode forces Trigger.Scope = naChannelTrigger.

 VB Syntax

chan.TriggerMode = value

Variable

(Type) - Description

chan

A Channel (object)

value

(enum NATriggerMode) - Choose from:

0 - naTriggerModePoint - Each Manual or External trigger signal causes one data point to be measured.

1 - naTriggerModeMeasurement (superseded - still works but replaced with a more descriptive enum)

1 - naTriggerModeChannel - Each trigger signal causes ALL traces in that channel to be swept.

2 - naTriggerModeEverySweep - Each Manual or External trigger signal causes ALL traces that share a source port to be swept.

3 - naTriggerModeTrace - Allowed ONLY when PointSweepState is enabled. Each trigger signal causes two identical measurements to be triggered separately - one trigger signal is required for each measurement. Other trigger mode settings cause two identical parameters to be measured simultaneously.

Return Type

Long Integer

Default

1 - naTriggerModeChannel

Examples

chan.TriggerMode = naTriggerModePoint 'Write

trigtyp = chan.TriggerMode 'Read

C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_TriggerMode (tagNATriggerMode *pMode)
HRESULT put_TriggerMode (tagNATriggerMode newMode)
