34405A User’s and Service Guide 51
The bus trigger mode is initiated by sending a bus trigger
command, after selecting BUS as the trigger source.
• The TRIGger:SOURce BUS command selects the bus trigger
source.
• The MEASure? command overwrites the BUS trigger and
triggers the DMM and returns a measurement.
• The READ? command does not overwrite the BUS trigger,
and if selected, generates an error. It will only trigger the
instrument and return a measurement when the
IMMEdiate trigger is selected.
• The INITiate command only initiates the measurement
and needs a trigger (BUS or IMMEdiate) to make the
actual measurement.
Refer to the Agilent 34405A Programmer’s Reference for
complete description and syntax for these commands.
