6: SCPI command reference  Model 2461 Interactive SourceMeterĀ® Instrument 
 
6-212  2461-901-01 A/November 2015 
 
Details 
This command sets the logic on which the trigger event detector and the output trigger generator 
operate on the specified trigger line. 
To directly control the line state, set the mode of the line to digital and use the write command. When 
the digital line mode is set for open drain, the edge settings assert a TTL low-pulse. 
Trigger mode values 
Value  Description 
Detects falling-edge triggers as input when the line is configured as an input 
or open drain. 
Detects rising-edge triggers as input when the line is configured as an open 
drain. 
Detects rising- or falling-edge triggers as input when the line is configured as 
an input or open drain. 
 
Example 
 
:DIG:LINE4:MODE TRIG,IN 
:TRIG:DIG4:IN:EDGE RIS 
Sets the input trigger mode for the digital I/O 
line 4 to detect rising-edge triggers as input.

Usage 
:TRIGger:DIGital<n>:IN:OVERrun? 
 
Digital I/O trigger line (1 to 6) 
Details 
This command returns the event detector overrun status as 0 (false) or 1 (true). 
If this is 1, an event was ignored because the event detector was already in the detected state when 
the event occurred. 
This is an indication of the state of the event detector built into the line itself. It does not indicate if an 
overrun occurred in any other part of the trigger model or in any other detector that is monitoring the 
event.
