2 Digital Multimeter Operation
Triggering the Multimeter
72 U3606A User’s and Service Guide
Remote interface operation:
• The TRIGger:SOURce BUS command selects the bus trigger source.
• The MEASure? command overwrites the bus trigger and triggers the
U3606A 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 (*TRG command) to make the actual measurement.
Refer to the U3606A Programmer’s Reference for the syntax and complete
descriptions for these commands.
