:TRIGger:LOAD "DurationLoop"
This command loads a predefined trigger model configuration that makes continuous measurements for a
specified amount of time.
Type Affected by Where saved Default value
Usage
:TRIGger:LOAD "DurationLoop", <duration>
:TRIGger:LOAD "DurationLoop", <duration>, <delay>
:TRIGger:LOAD "DurationLoop", <duration>, <delay>, "<readingBuffer>"
:TRIGger:LOAD "DurationLoop", <duration>, <delay>, "<readingBuffer>",
<readingBlock>
The amount of time for which to make measurements (500 ns to 100 ks)
The delay time before each measurement (167 ns to 10 ks); default is 0 for
no delay
A string that indicates the reading buffer; the default buffers (defbuffer1
or defbuffer2) or the name of a user-defined buffer; if no buffer is
specified, defbuffer1 is used
Define a measure or digitize block for the trigger model; options are:
• ACTive: Add a measure or digitize block to the trigger model based
on the active function; if no option defined, ACTive is used
• MEASure: Adds a measure block to the trigger model
•
DIGitize: Adds a digitize block to the trigger model
Details
When you load this predefined trigger model, you can specify amount of time to make a
measurement and the length of the delay before the measurement.
The out line of the EXT TRIG IN/OUT rear-panel terminal is asserted at the end of each
measurement.
After selecting a trigger model template, you can view the trigger model blocks in a graphical format
by pressing the front-panel MENU key and under Trigger, selecting Configure. You can also add or
delete blocks and change trigger model settings from this screen. You can use the
TRIGger:BLOCk:LIST? command to view the trigger model blocks in a list format.
Example
SENS:FUNC "CURR"
TRIG:LOAD "DurationLoop", 10, 0.01
INIT
Set the instrument to measure DC current.
Load the Duration Loop trigger model to make
measurements for 10 s with a 10 ms delay
before each measurement.
Start the trigger model.
