28 :TRIGger Commands

:TRIGger:PATTern:LESSthan

(see page 860)

Command Syntax

:TRIGger:PATTern:LESSthan <less_than_time>[<suffix>]

<less_than_time> ::= maximum trigger duration in seconds

in NR3 format

<suffix> ::= {s | ms | us | ns | ps}

The :TRIGger:PATTern:LESSthan command sets the maximum duration for

the defined pattern when :TRIGger:PATTern:QUALifier is set to LESSthan.

Query Syntax

:TRIGger:PATTern:LESSthan?

The :TRIGger:PATTern:LESSthan? query returns the duration time for the

defined pattern.

Return Format

<less_than_time><NL>
