Details of Trigger States
These paragraphs use flow charts to explain the decision making rules
inside each trigger state. These rules govern how the instrument
moves between adjacent states. Some of the flow charts reference
commands that have not been discussed yet. These commands
are explained later in this subsection. Keep in mind that this
explanation covers the most general case. Your particular instrument
may not implement all of the commands discussed here.
