2 Operation and Features
Triggering the Multimeter
78 U3606B User’s Guide
Remote interface operation:
• The TRIGger:SOURce BUS command selects the bus
trigger source.
• The MEASure? command overwrites the bus trigger and
triggers the U3606B and returns a measurement.
• The READ? command does not overwrite the bus trigger,
and if selected, generates an error. It will only trigger the
instrument and return a measurement when the
IMMEdiate trigger is selected.
• The INITiate command only initiates the measurement
and needs a trigger (*TRG command) to make the actual
measurement.
Refer to the U3606B Programmer’s Reference for the syntax
and complete descriptions for these commands.
