From the remote interface:
To initiate the transient trigger system:
INIT:TRAN(@1)
It takes a few milliseconds for the instrument to be ready to receive a
trigger signal after receiving the INITiate:TRANsient command. If a
trigger occurs before the trigger system is ready for it, the trigger will
be ignored. You can test the WTG_tran bit in the operation status
register to know when the instrument is ready to receive a trigger
after being initiated.
To query the WTG_tran bit (bit 4):
STAT:OPER:COND? (@1)
If a bit value of 16 is returned in the query, the WTG_tran bit is true,
and the instrument is ready to receive the trigger signal. Refer to the
N6705 Programmer’s Reference Help file for more information.
NOTE
Unless INITiate:TRANsient;CONTinuous is programmed, it will be necessary to
initiate the transient trigger system each time a triggered action is desired.
To trigger the Arb if the trigger source is BUS:
*TRG
As previously discussed, a trigger can also be generated by a trigger
signal applied to the rear panel trigger input BNC connector. If this is
configured as the trigger source, the instrument will wait indefinitely
for the trigger signal. If the trigger does not occur, you must manually
return the trigger system to the idle state.
If the trigger does not occur, and you wish to cancel the arbitrary
waveform, send
ABOR:TRAN
When a trigger is received, the Arb runs. When the Arb completes,
the trigger system returns to the idle state. You can test the
TRAN_active bit in the operation status register to know when the
transient trigger system has returned to the idle state.
To query the TRAN_active bit (bit 6):
STAT:OPER:COND? (@1)
If a bit value of 64 is returned in the query, the TRAN_active bit is
true, and the Arb has NOT completed. When the TRAN_active bit is
false, the Arb has completed. Refer to the N6705 Programmer’s
Reference Help file for more information.
