4263B
Trigger System
This
section
provides
information
about trigger
system of
the 4263B
.SCPI
denes a
common
trigger
model
for
several
types of
instruments.
Information
on
the
trigger
system requires
more technical
expertise than
most other
topics
covered
in
this
chapter
.
But
you
can
avoid having
to learn
the information
in
this
section
by
using
the
:INITiate
commands
to make
your measurements
.
4263B
Trigger System
Conguration
The
trigger
system
synchronizes
the
4263B
measurement
with
specied
events
..
Event
includes
GPIB
trigger
command
or
input
pulse
on
Ext
Trigger
terminal.
The
trigger
system
also
allows
you
to
specify
the
number
of
times
to
repeat
a
measurement
and
the
delays
between
measurements
.
Figure
5-6. Trigger
System Conguration
Figure
5-6 shows
the conguration
of the
4263B
trigger
system.
Each
undashed
block
is
called
a
trigger
state
.
The
4263B moves
between
adjacent
states
depending
on
its
conditions
.
The
power ON state is called the
Idle state.Y
ou can force the 4263B to the idle state using the
:ABORt or *RST command. The
Initiate and Trigger Event Detection
state branches to next
state, regardless of whether the 4263B satises the specied conditions
or not. The
Sequence
Operation state signals the instrument hardware to take a measurement and listens for a
signal saying that measurement has been taken.
IDLE State
The trigger system remains in the Idle state until it is initiated by :INITiate:IMMediate or
:INITiate;CONTinuous ON . Once one of these conditions is satised, the trigger system exits
downward to the Initiate state. Note that *RST sets :INITiate:CONTinuous OFF .
