scan.trigger.channel.set()
Function
Set the channel event detector to the detected state.
Usage
scan.trigger.channel.set()
Remarks
This function will set the channel event detector of the trigger model to the detected
state.
Example
scan.trigger.channel.set()
scan.trigger.channel.stimulus
Attribute
Channel event detector stimulus selection.
Usage
To read the trigger stimulus:
eventid = scan.trigger.channel.stimulus
eventid: Present trigger stimulus being used for the channel action.
To write the stimulus:
scan.trigger.channel.stimulus = eventid
eventid: Trigger stimulus to set for the channel action
Remarks
This attribute selects which event(s) will cause the channel event detector to enter the
detected state. Set this attribute to 0 to reset this event back to its factory default.
eventid may be one of the following (existing trigger event IDs):
digio.trigger[N].EVENT_ID: An edge (either rising, falling, or either based on the
configuration of the line) on the digital input line.
display.trigger.EVENT_ID: The trigger key on the front panel is pressed.
trigger.EVENT_ID: A *trg message on the active command interface. If GPIB is the
active command interface, a GET message will also generate this event.
trigger.blender[N].EVENT_ID: A combination of events has occurred.
trigger.timer[N].EVENT_ID: A delay expired.
tsplink.trigger[N].EVENT_ID: An edge (either rising, falling, or either based on the
configuration of the line) on the tsplink trigger line.
lan.trigger[N].EVENT_ID
scan.trigger.EVENT_SCAN_READY: Scan Ready Event.
scan.trigger.EVENT_SCAN_START: Scan Start Event
scan.trigger.EVENT_CHANNEL_READY: Channel Ready Event
scan.trigger.EVENT_MEASURE_COMP: Measure Complete Event
scan.trigger.EVENT_SEQUENCE_COMP: Sequence Complete Event
scan.trigger.EVENT_SCAN_COMP: Scan Complete Event
scan.trigger.EVENT_IDLE: Idle Event
NOTE Use the ICL define to set the stimulus value rather than the define value.
Doing this will make the code compatible for future upgrades because it
may need to change when enhancements are added to the instrument
