1.11. TRIGger Subsystem

1.11.1. TRIGger

This command controls remote triggering of the power supply. When the trigger subsystem is enabled, a TRIG command generates a trigger signal. The trigger signal will then initiate a pending level change as specified by CURR[:LEV]:TRIG or VOLT[:LEV]:TRIG. Afterwards, the Operation Register will be cleared. If INIT:CONT is on, the trigger subsystem is immediately reenabled for subsequent triggers. As soon as it is cleared, the WTG bit is again set to 1.

Command Syntax:

TRIGger[IMMediate]

Examples:

TRIG, TRIGGER:IMMEDIATE

1.11.2. INITiate

This command enables the trigger system. When the initiate command is enabled, a TRIG command allows specified triggering action to occur. If the initiate subsystem is not enabled, all trigger commands are ignored. If INIT:CONT is OFF, then INIT enables the trigger subsystem only for a single trigger action; INIT must then be repeated prior to further trigger commands. If INIT:CONT is ON, then the trigger subsystem is continuously enabled.

INIT:CONT? returns the state of the continuous trigger mode.

The following syntaxes are for INITiate[:IMMediate]

Command Syntax:

INITiate[:IMMediate]

Parameters:

None

Examples:

INIT, INITIATE:IMMEDIATE

Query Syntax:

None

The following syntaxes are for INITiate[:CONTinuous]

Command Syntax:

INITiate:CONTinuous <bool>

Parameters:

0 (OFF) | 1 (ON)

Examples:

INIT:CONT 1, INITIATE:CONTINUOUS OFF

Query Syntax:

INIT:CONT?

Return Param:

0 | 1

1.11.3. ABORt

This command cancels any trigger actions presently in process. Any pending trigger levels are reset to their immediate values. ABORt also resets the WTG bit in the Operation Register. If initiate continuous is enabled (INIT:CONT ON), the trigger subsystem immediately re-initiates itself after ABORt, thereby setting WTG. ABOR is executed at power turn on and upon execution of *RCL or *RST.

Command Syntax:

ABORt

Examples:

ABOR
