Trigger Commands
Trigger commands consist of trigger and initiate commands.
Initiate commands initialize the trigger system.
Trigger commands control the remote triggering of the dc source. They are used to generate output and
measurement triggers.
NOTE: Before you generate a measurement trigger, you must specify either a voltage or current
measurement acquisition using the SENSe:FUNCtion command.
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 status byte (see chapter 5 about
programming the status registers). ABORt is executed at power turn on and upon execution of *RST.
Command Syntax
ABORt
Parameters
None
Examples
ABOR
Related Commands
INIT *RST *TRG TRIG
INITiate:NAME
This command controls the enabling 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 system
is not enabled, all triggers are ignored.
Command Syntax
INITiate[:IMMediate]:NAME <name>
Parameters
TRANsient | ACQuire
Examples
INIT:NAME TRAN
Related Commands
ABOR INIT:CONT TRIG *TRG
TRIGger:ACQuire
This command generates a measurement trigger. When the trigger system is initiated, the measurement
trigger causes the dc source to measure either the output voltage or current and store the results in a
buffer. The SENS:FUNC command determines which signal will be measured.
Command Syntax
TRIGger:ACQuire[:IMMediate]
Parameters
None
Examples
TRIG TRIG:IMM
