These commands sets the trigger functionally.
:CONTrol:TRIGger:SOURce SW|HW|BUS
:CONTrol:TRIGger:SOURce?
This command selects the trigger source to be applied from the software or hardware. The trigger source determines how the instrument receives the trigger that initiates the playing the waveform.
|
SW |
This choice selects the PXB internal firmware to provide the trigger source for the playing the waveform. The waveform will be played when CONT:PLAY ON is executed. |
|
|
This choice selects the playing process to wait and begin playback upon receiving a trigger signal from the an external trigger source connected to the rear panel EXT TRIG IN SMB connector. |
|
BUS |
This choice selects the digital bus to provide the trigger source for the waveform playing. When CONT:PLAY ON is executed, the system waits for the *TRG command before playing the waveform playing. |
:CONTrol:TRIGger:POLarity POSitive|NEGative
:CONTrol:TRIGger:POLarity?
This command selects the trigger polarity when the trigger source is from the hardware.
|
POSitive |
This choice sets the TTL signal level at the rear panel EXT TRIG IN SMB connector to trigger at the rising edge of the signal. |
|
NEGative |
This choice sets the TTL signal level at the rear panel EXT TRIG IN SMB connector to trigger at the falling edge of the signal. |
