Trigger Commands
l With continuous triggering disabled, the trigger system must be initiated for each trigger using the INITi-
ate:TRANsient command.
l ABORt:TRANsient does not abort continuous triggers if INITiate:CONTinuous:TRANsient ON has been pro-
grammed. In this case, the trigger system will automatically re-initiate.
TRIGger:TRANsient[:IMMediate]
Generates an immediate trigger. This overrides any selected trigger source. Transient triggers affect the output
voltage and output current.
Parameter Typical Return
(none) (none)
Generates a transient trigger: TRIG:TRAN
l You must initiate the trigger system before you can send any trigger.
l When sent, the transient trigger will cause an output change as specified by the CURRent:TRIGgered or
VOLTage:TRIGgered commands.
l When the trigger sequence completes, the WTG-tran bit in the Status Operation Condition register is cleared.
TRIGger:TRANsient:SOURce <source>
TRIGger:TRANsient:SOURce?
Selects the transient trigger source. BUS is the only trigger source that can be selected. This selects a remote trigger
interface command as the trigger source.
Parameter Typical Return
BUS BUS
Example: TRIG:TRAN:SOUR BUS
*TRG
Trigger Command. Generates a trigger when the trigger system has BUS selected as its source. The command has the
same affect as the Group Execute Trigger (<GET>) command).
Parameter Typical Return
(none) (none)
Generates an immediate trigger: *TRG
