Remote interface triggering
Immediate triggering
In the immediate trigger mode, the trigger signal is always
present. When you place the multimeter in the
wait- for- trigger state, the trigger is issued immediately. This
is the default trigger source for the U3606B.
Remote interface operation:
• The TRIGger:SOURce IMMediate command selects the
immediate trigger source.
• After selecting the trigger source, you must place the
instrument in the “wait- for- trigger” state using the
INITiate[:IMMediate] or READ? command. A trigger
will not be accepted from the selected trigger source until
the instrument is in the “wait- for- trigger” state.
Refer to the U3606B Programmer’s Reference for the syntax
and complete descriptions for these commands.
Software (bus) triggering
The bus trigger mode corresponds in function as the Single
triggering mode, except the trigger is initiated by sending a
bus trigger command, after selecting BUS as the trigger
source.
NOTE
The immediate trigger mode is available from the remote interface only.
NOTE
The bus trigger mode is available from the remote interface only.
