trigXg, trigXl
This command monitors for a predetermined level of voltage, current, conductance, capacitance, or time.
Usage
int trigig(int instr_id, double value);
int trigil(int instr_id, double value);
int trigtg(int instr_id, double value);
int trigtl(int instr_id, double value);
int trigvg(int instr_id, double value);
int trigvl(int instr_id, double value);
instr_id
The instrument identification code of the monitoring instrument
value
The voltage, current, conductance, capacitance, or time specified as the trigger
point; this trigger point value is reached when either of the following occurs:
• The measured value is equal to or greater than the value argument of the
trigXg command
• The measured value is less than the value argument of the trigXl
command
Details
The trigXl and trigXg commands are used with the searchX command or with one of the sweep
measurement commands: smeasX, sintgX, or savgX.
• The trigXg or trigXl command provides the sweepX command the digital feedback to allow
for the increase or decrease in sourcing values.
• The trigXl and trigXg commands must be located before any associated searchX
commands.
• Triggers are not automatically reset by the searchX or sweepX command. A single call to the
trigXl or trigXg command can be followed by two or more calls to the searchX or sweepX
commands.
The specified trigger point is automatically cleared when a clrtrg or devint command is executed.
