Remote Operation
Most
measurements
can
be
modeled by
the following
simple three
step sequence:
1.
Set
up
the
instrument.
Typically
,
you
begin
the setup
step by
sending *RST
to set
the instrument
to its
default
settings
.
Next,
if
you need
values dierent
from the
default settings
,
change
the
settings
one
by
one
as
required.
2.
Trigger
the
measurement.
The
trigger
may
be
generated automatically
by steps
taken in
your setup
commands
,
or
you
can
send
an
explicit
trigger command.
To
select the
trigger source
,
send
the
:TRIG:SOUR
command with
the trigger
source parameter
. When
you
select
BUS
as
the
trigger
source
,
sending
*TRG
triggers a
measurement and
retrieves the
measurement
data.
3.
Retrieve
the data.

measurement program.
