Keithley 6430 User Manual

SCPI Command Reference 17-107
OUTPut <event list>
:ARM[:SEQuence[1]][LAYer[1]][:TCONfigure]:OUTPut <event list> Arm layer events
:TRIGger[:SEQuence[1]][:TCONfigure]:OUTPut <event list> Trigger layer events
Parameters Arm Layer Triggers
<event list >: TENTer Trigger on entering trigger layer
TEXit Trigger on exiting trigger layer
NONE Disable arm layer output trigger
Trigger Layer Triggers
<event list>: SOURce Output trigger after source level is set
DELay Output trigger after delay period
SENSe Output Trigger after measurement
NONE Disable trigger layer triggers
NOTE Each event in the list must be separated by a comma (i.e., :arm:output source, delay,
sense).
Query :OUTPut? Query output trigger event(s)
Description This command is used to specify when trigger pulses occur on the specified
output trigger line of the Trigger Link (:OLINe).
Arm Layer Triggers — With TEXit selected, an output trigger will occur
when exiting the trigger layer. With TENTer selected, an output trigger will
occur when entering the trigger layer. With NONE selected, the arm layer
output trigger is disabled.
Trigger Layer Triggers — You can specify from one to all three events. Each
event in the list must be separated by a comma (,).
The SOURce, DELay and MEASure events refer to the Source-Delay-
Measure (SDM) cycle. This is the Device Action in the Trigger Model. See
Figures 10-7 and 10-8. With SOURce specified, an output trigger occurs
after the source is set. With DELay specified, an output trigger occurs after
the delay period. With MEASure specified, an output trigger occurs after the
measurement.
NOTE When disabling triggers, the NONE parameter must be sent alone (i.e., trig:outp
none). If it is listed with any of the other event parameters, NONE will be ignored.
