904 Agilent Infiniium 9000 Series Oscilloscopes Programmer's Reference
33 Trigger Commands
The commands in the TRIGger subsystem define the conditions for
triggering. Many of the commands in the TRIGger subsystem are used in
more than one of the trigger modes. The command set has been defined to
closely represent the front- panel trigger menus. As a trade-off, there may
be less compatibility between Infiniium Oscilloscopes and command sets
for previous oscilloscopes. Infiniium Oscilloscopes still accept some
commands for compatibility with previous instruments. An alternative
command that is accepted by the oscilloscope is noted for a particular
command.
Summary of
Trigger Modes
and Commands
Make sure the oscilloscope is in the proper trigger mode for the command
you want to send. One method of ensuring that the oscilloscope is in the
proper trigger mode is to send the :TRIGger:MODE command in the same
program message as the parameter to be set.
For example, these commands place the instrument in the advanced
triggering mode you select:
:TRIGger:MODE ADVanced
:TRIGger:ADVanced:MODE <Advanced_trigger_mode>
<Advanced
_trigger_mode>
Advanced trigger modes include COMM, DELay, PATTern, STATe, TV, and
VIOLation. Each mode is described with its command set in this chapter.
