G-6 488.1 Protocol
Command notes
SYSTem:TRIGger:TALK:BOTH <b>
This command can be sent in 488.1 or SCPI protocol. However, the setting only affects 488.1
protocol functionality and not used in the SCPI protocol. On power up, this mode is set to
disabled (OFF). This setting is not saved in user setups and is not affected by recalling a user
setup or sending a *RST command. If enabled (ON), the trigger on talk maps to a
BOTHREAD?. If disabled (OFF), then trigger on talk maps to a READ1? if channel 1 is active
channel, or a read2? if channel 2 is active channel.
After enabling this command and doing a trigger on talk to get the two readings, the active
chann
el (DISP:CHAN?) will be Channel 2. Therefore, when the command is disabled the active
channel is 2.
Trigger continuous mode
While in continuous trigger mode, as soon as a reading is triggered and calculated, the next
reading is triggered. On the first reading, the A/D is configured for the desired measurement.
While in this mode, a special task is running to acquire the readings. Therefore, do not send any
commands to the supply that changes how it is configured. Instead disable the mode, make the
changes, and then enable the mode again. While in the mode, it is okay to send query commands.
