8-24 3700S-901-01 Rev. C / July 2008
Input characteristics:
All rising or falling edges generate an input trigger event
Figure 8-9: Either edge output trigger
Output characteristics:
The trigger.assert command generates a low pulse that is similar to the
falling edge trigger mode.
Understanding synchronous triggering modes
Use the synchronous triggering modes to implement bidirectional triggering, to
wait for one node, or to wait for a collection of nodes to complete all triggered
actions.
All non-Keithley instrumentation must have a trigger mode that functions similar
to the SynchronousA or SynchronousM trigger modes.
To use synchronous triggering, configure the triggering master to the
SynchronousM trigger mode or the non-Keithley equivalent. Configure all other
nodes in the test system to SynchronousA trigger mode or a non-Keithley
equivalent.
