Syntax

*TRG

Description

This command sends a software trigger to the instrument when the instrument is configured for TRIGger:SOURce BUS.

Remarks

• The software trigger operation that this command executes is accepted by the instrument only when the instrument is acquiring data (executing INITiate).
• After setting the trigger source, you must place the instrument in the wait-for-trigger state using the INITiate command. Once you have sent the INITiate command, the instrument will buffer one software trigger to be applied at the next wait-for-trigger state, so it is not necessary to verify that the instrument is precisely in the wait-for-trigger state.
• The *TRG command does not work with the READ? command.

Example

The following commands trigger the instrument.

TRIG:SOUR BUS
INIT
*TRG
