7 System Commands
This command is ignored if a sweep is in progress. See “:INITiate:CONTinuous[:ALL]" on
page 221 for setting continuous or single sweep. See “:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce" on
page 222 to select the trigger source.
In some atypical cases, the :INIT command could be ignored if it immediately follows an
*OPC? command. If the :INIT command is ignored, then use a 10 ms sleep function before
sending the command.
:TRIGger:OUTPut:POLarity
Supported All
:TRIGger:OUTPut:POLarity POSitive|NEGative
:TRIGger:OUTPut:POLarity?
Sets the TTL signal level present at the TRIGGER OUT connector to either high (5 vdc) or
low (0 vdc). The trigger out is asserted after the frequency and/or power is set while the
sweep is waiting for its step trigger. In addition, the swept-sine sends a pulse to the
TRIGGER OUT at the beginning of each sweep.
Example
:TRIG:OUTP:POL NEG
The example enables the continuous mode as the sweep type.
*RST POS
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SLOPe
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SLOPe POSitive|NEGative
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SLOPe?
Sets the polarity of the ramp or sawtooth waveform slope present at the Trigger In
connector that will trigger a list or step sweep.
*RST POS
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce
Supported All
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce BUS|IMMediate|EXTernal
:TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce?
Sets the sweep trigger source for a List or Step sweep.
