*DDT <arbitrary block program data>|<string program data>
15-8 Agilent E4418B/E4419B Programming Guide
*DDT <arbitrary block program data>|<string program data>
The *DDT (Define Device Trigger) command determines the power meter’s
response to a GET (Group Execute Trigger) message or *TRG common
command. This command effectively turns GET and *TRG into queries,
with the measured power being returned.
Syntax
Parameters
Examples of <arbitrary block program data> parameters are:
• #15FETC? and #206FETCh?
Examples of <string program data> are:
• "FETCh1?", "FETCh?" and "TRIG1;FETC1"
Reset Condition
On reset, the <action> field of *DDT is set to *TRG.
