Using the STATus System
Trigger
*TRG
This command triggers the instrument. Use the
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce command to select the trigger source.
If you have selected a one-button measurement and it has been paused
(INITiate:PAUSe), or the CONFigure:<meas> command was used. The
command causes the system to exit this “waiting” state and go to the
“initiated” state. The trigger system is initiated and completes one full
trigger cycle. It returns to the “waiting” state on completion of the
trigger cycle. See the
MEASURE key for more information about
controlling the measurement process.
The instrument must be in the single measurement mode. If
INIT:CONT ON, then the command is ignored. Depending upon the
measurement and the number of averages, there may be multiple data
acquisitions, with multiple trigger events, for one full trigger cycle.
Key Type: There is no equivalent front panel key.
