TRIGger<Ch>...

This subsystem is used to synchronize the analyzer's actions (in particular, the start of a measurement sequence) with events.

Command tree: TRIGger<Ch>

[:SEQuence]

Sets a delay time between the trigger event and the start of the measurement (Trigger Delay).

<Ch>	Channel number. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.
<numeric_value>	Delay time.
Range [def. unit]	0 s to 13680 s [s]. UP and DOWN increment/decrement the trigger delay in 10 ms steps.
*RST value	0 s
SCPI, Command Types	Confirmed, command or query
Example:	TRIG:SOUR TIM Activate internal timer as trigger source. TRIG:HOLD UP Set a delay time of 10 ms.

Selects the Triggered Meas. Sequence. The identifier for the sequence is a string variable.

<Ch>	Channel number.
'SWEep' \|	Trigger event starts an entire sweep.
'SEGMent' \|	Trigger event starts a sweep segment, if segmented frequency sweep is active (see example below). If another sweep type is active, the trigger event starts an entire sweep.
'POINt' \|	Trigger event starts measurement at the next sweep point.
'PPOint'	Trigger event starts the next partial measurement at the current or at the next sweep point.
*RST value	'SWEep'
SCPI, Command Types	Confirmed, command or query
Example:	SEGM:ADD; SWE:TYPE SEGM Select segmented frequency sweep. TRIG:LINK 'SEGM' Select a trigger segment as triggered measurement sequence.

Qualifies whether the trigger event occurs on the rising or on the falling edge of the external TTL trigger signal.

<Ch>	Channel number.
POSitive \|	Rising edge.
NEGative	Falling edge.
*RST value	POSitive
SCPI, Command Types	Confirmed, command or query
Example:	TRIG:SOUR EXT Activate external signal as trigger source. TRIG:SLOP NEG Trigger on the negative edge of the (external TTL) trigger signal.

Selects the source for the events that the analyzer uses to start a sweep.

<Ch>	Channel number.
IMMediate	Free run measurement without waiting for trigger events
EXTernal	Trigger by external signal applied to pin 2 of the USER CONTROL connector on the rear panel.
TIMer	Periodic internal trigger signal. The period of the timer is specified by the TRIGger[:SEQuence]:TIMer command.
MANual	Trigger signal generated by pressing the Manual Trigger softkey.

*RST value	IMMediate
SCPI, Command Types	Confirmed, command or query.
Example:	TRIG:SOUR MAN Activate manual trigger mode. The analyzer starts the next sweep when the Manual Trigger softkey is pressed.

Sets the period of the internal periodic signal that can be used as a trigger source (TRIGger<Ch>[:SEQuence]:SOURce TIMer).

<Ch>	Channel number. If unspecified the numeric suffix is set to 1.
<numeric_value>	Timer period
Range [def. unit]	1E-005 s to 13680 s [s]. UP and DOWN increment/decrement the timer period in 10 ms steps.
*RST value	1 s
SCPI, Command Types	Confirmed, command or query
Example:	TRIG:SOUR TIM Activate internal timer as trigger source. TRIG:TIM 0.1 Set a timer period of 100 ms.
