Trigger subsystem
The Trigger subsystem is made up of a series of commands and sub-
systems to configure the Trigger Model. These commands and sub-
systems are summarized in Table 5-10.
:INITiate commands
[:IMMediate]
:INITiate[:IMMediate] Take 2000 out of idle state
Description This command takes the Model 2000 out of the idle state. After all pro-
grammed operations are completed, the instrument returns to the idle
state if continuous initiation is disabled; (see next command).
:CONTinuous <b>
:INITiate:CONTinuous <b> Control continuous initiation
Parameters <b> = 0 or OFF Disable continuous initiation
1 or ON Enable continuous initiation
Query :CONTinuous? Query continuous initiation
Description When continuous initiation is selected (ON), the instrument is taken out of
the idle state. At the conclusion of all programmed operations, the instru-
ment returns to the top of the trigger model.
NOTE: With continuous initiation enabled (ON), you cannot use the
:READ? command or set sample count greater than one (see
:SAMPle:COUNt).
:ABORt command
:ABORt Abort operation
Description When this action command is sent, the Model 2000 aborts operation and
returns to the top of the Trigger Model. If continuous initiation is disabled,
the instrument goes to the idle state. If continuous initiation is enabled,
operation continues at the top of the trigger model.
The abort command resets the scan pointer back to the first channel in
the scan list.
