:TRIGger:DURATion:TYPe 
 
Syntax 
:TRIGger:DURATion:TYPe <pa_ch1>[,<pa_ch2>] 
:TRIGger:DURATion:TYPe? 
 
Description 
Set or query the pattern of each channel of duration trigger.   
 
Parameter 
Name  Type  Range  Default 
<pa_ch1>  Discrete  {H,L,X}  X 
<pa_ch2>  Discrete  {H,L,X}  X 
 
Explanation 
  The patterns consist of 2 analog channels.  
  <pa_ch1> and <pa_ch2> set the patterns of analog channels CH1 and CH2. Users can send 2 
parameters to set the pataterns of the two channels. Also, you can omit the parameter <pa_ch2> to 
set the pattern of CH1 (the pattern state of CH2 remains unchanged). No matter whether the 
parameters are omitted, the query command returns the currently set pattern for all the channels.   
  In the range of the parameter, H represents high level (higher than the threshold level of the 
channel). L represents low level (lower than the threshold level of the channel). X denotes that this 
channel is ignored (this channel is not used as a part of the pattern. When all the channels in the 
pattern are set to X, the oscilloscope will not trigger).  
  Please distinguish "omit parameter" from "ignore channel". The former means that the parameters 
corresponding to some channels are not sent when sending the command, and the pattern states of 
these channels remain unchanged. The latter means that the channel is set to X when sending the 
command, and the state of this channel is ignored when the instrument judges the patterns. 
 
 
Return Format 
The query returns the currently set patterns for all the channels (2) of duration trigger. 
 
Example 
:TRIGger:DURATion:TYPe L /*Set the pattern of CH1 to L, and the pattern state of CH2 remains 
unchanged*/ 
:TRIGger:DURATion:TYPe? /*The query returns L,X*/
