The trigger subsystem is in the idle state.

ABORt
ROUTe:SCAN
TRIGger[:SEQuence][:SOURce]
TRIGger[:SEQuence][:IMMediate]
TRIGger[:SEQuence][:COUNt]
TRIGger[:SEQuence][:DELay]

This command places the trigger subsystem in the armed state. In this state, a
trigger event enabled by the TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce command closes the
next relay in a scan sequence, after opening the previous relay in the sequence.
After a sufficient number of triggers have been received to cycle through a scan
list the number of times specified in a TRIGger:[SEQuence] :COUNt command,
the trigger subsystem is placed in the idle state. In this state, triggers are ignored.

Command

Response

(@m1(1,2),m2(60))

Define a scan sequence consisting of relays 1 and 2 on relay
module m1 and relay 60 on module m2.

trigger:sequence:count

Define the number of times to sequence through the scan list
before setting the state of the trigger subsystem back to the
idle state.

trigger:sequence:

source hold

This command disables the following trigger sources: VXI TTL
triggers, VXI Trigger commands, *TRG command, and
Immediate triggers. The TRIGger[:SEQuence][:IMMediate]
command, however, overrides this command. It triggers the
module and skips the delay specified in a previously issued
TRIGger[:SEQuence]:DELay command.

initiate:immediate

Initiate the scan sequence.

trig
