68xxA: Creating a Trigger Out Signal
Question: How do I create a trigger out signal on the rear of an AC source?
Answer: To generate a SINGLE "Trig OUT", use the following key sequences:
Press [shift] [Output] keys;
Use the function and entry scroll keys to pick {TTLT:STATE "ON"} then press [ENTER] ;
Press [Trigger Control] key;
Use scroll keys to pick {INIT:IMMED} then press [ENTER];
Press [shift] [Trigger] keys.
This initiates a one-time trigger from the Trigger Out BNC connector on the rear panel of the instrument (refer to the
following figure). In order to initiate subsequent triggers, {INIT:IMMED} must first be re-entered each time. Then
pressing [shift][Trigger] will initiate a trigger.
To generate a "Trig OUT" each time the [shift][Trigger] is pressed:
Press [shift] [Output] key;
Use the function and entry scroll keys to pick {TTLT:STATE "ON"} then press [ENTER];
Press [Trigger Control] key;
Use scroll keys to pick {INIT:CONT ON} then press [ENTER];
Press [shift] [Trigger] keys.
This initiates a trigger from the Trigger Out BNC connector on the rear panel of the instrument each time [shift]
[Trigger] is pushed.
Sample program for generating
a trigger over the GPIB:
10 OUTPUT 705; "OUTP ON"
20 OUTPUT 705; "OUTP:TTLT ON"
30 OUTPUT 705; "INIT:IMM:NAME TRAN"
40 OUTPUT 705; "TRIG:TRAN:SOUR BUS"
50 OUTPUT 705; "TRIG:IMM"
