Trigger Commands
Trigger commands consist of trigger and initiate commands.
Trigger commands control the remote triggering of the dc source . Trigger commands (and Initate
commands) are referenced either by name or by number. The correspondence between names and
numbers is:
Sequence Number Sequence Name Description
1 (the default) TRANsient Output transient trigger sequence
2 ACQuire Measurement acquire trigger sequence
Initiate commands initialize the trigger system.
ABORt
This command cancels any trigger actions presently in process. Pending trigger levels are reset to their
corresponding immediate values. ABORt also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Condition Status
register (see chapter 3 under Programming the Status Registers). If INITiate:CONTinuous ON has been
programmed, the trigger subsystem initiates itself immediately after ABORt, thereby setting WTG. ABORt
is executed at power turn on and upon execution of *RCL or RST.
Command Syntax
ABORt
Parameters
None
Examples
ABOR
Related Commands
INIT *RST *TRG TRIG
INITiate:SEQuence
INITiate:NAME
INIT:SEQ2 or INIT:NAME ACQ applies to Agilent 66312A, 66332A Only
INITiate commands control the initiation of both output and measurement triggers. When a trigger is
enabled, an event on a selected trigger source causes the specified triggering action to occur. If the trigger
subsystem is not enabled, all trigger commands are ignored.
Command Syntax
INITiate[:IMMediate]:SEQuence[ 1 | 2 ]
INITiate[:IMMediate]:NAME<name>
Parameters
For INIT:NAME TRANsient | ACQuire
Examples
INIT:SEQ2 INIT:NAME TRAN
Related Commands
ABOR INIT:CONT TRIG TRIG:SEQ:DEF *TRG
INITiate:CONTinuous:SEQuence1
INITiate:CONTinuous:NAME
These commands control the output transient trigger system.
1 or ON
continuously initiates the output trigger system..
0 or OFF
turns off continuous triggering. In this state, the output
trigger system must be initiated for each trigger using INITiate:SEQuence.
Command Syntax
INITiate:CONTinuous:SEQuence1<bool>
INITiate:CONTinuous:NAME TRANsient,<bool>
Parameters
0 | 1 | OFF | ON
Examples
INIT:CONT:SEQ ON INIT:CONT:NAME TRAN, 1
