scan.trigger.measure.stimulus
Remarks
This attribute selects which event(s) will cause the measure event detector to enter the
detected state. Set this attribute to 0 to bypass waiting for an event.
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
Use this to start a set of measure count readings that are being triggered by a single
event. To pace each reading by an event, use the sequence trigger stimulus.
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.

Example
To set trigger stimulus of the measure event detector to channel ready event:
scan.trigger.measure.stimulus =
scan.trigger.EVENT_CHAN_READY
scan.trigger.sequence.clear()
Function
Clear the sequence event detector.
Usage
scan.trigger.sequence.clear()
Remarks
This function will set the sequence event detector to the undetected state.
Example
To clear the sequence event detector:
scan.trigger.sequence.clear()
scan.trigger.sequence.set()
Function
Set the sequence event detector to the detected state.
