TRIGger:TIMer? [MIN|MAX|DEF]

Returns the measurement period setting in seconds.
Example: TRIG:TIM?
Response: 1
Specifying the MIN, MAX, or DEF parameter returns the minimum, maximum, or

default value respectively.

TRIGger:TIMer <num>|MIN|MAX|DEF

Sets the measurement period setting in seconds.
Example: TRIG:TIM 30
The <num> parameter can be one of the following values: 1, 2, 5, 10, 15, 30, 60, 120,

300, 600, 900, 1200, 1800 or 3600. If a value other than one listed here is used, the

instrument automatically selects the nearest acceptable value that is less than the value

entered. Values greater than 3600 or less than 1 are ignored and cause a -222, “Data out

of range” error. Specifying the MIN, MAX, or DEF parameter sets the measurement

interval timer to the minimum, maximum, or default value respectively. The *RST

command sets the measurement period to 2 seconds. This command may be password

protected (see Password Commands).
