4 Using the Solar Array Simulator60 Series E4360 User’s GuideTrigger the MeasurementYou can immediately trigger the measurement as follows:Front Panel: SCPI Command:Not available To trigger a measurement on output 1:TRIG:ACQ (@1)If the trigger source is BUS, you cansend *TRG or an IEEE-488 .As previously discussed, a trigger can also be generated by anotheroutput channel or an input pin on the digital port connector. If any ofthese systems are configured as the trigger source, the instrument willwait indefinitely for the trigger signal. If the trigger does not occur, youmust manually return the trigger system to the Idle state.The following commands return the trigger system to the Idle state:Front Panel: SCPI Command:Select Acquisition\Control.Then select the Abort button.ABOR:ACQ (@1)Delaying the MeasurementIf you are using the measurement function in conjunction with atriggered SAS list (described later in this chapter), you may need toprogram a delay before the measurement occurs to allow for any outputsettling in response to the list change. To delay the triggeredmeasurement, use the following SCPI command. The front panel onlydisplays the trigger delay setting.Front Panel: SCPI Command:Select Acquisition\Control.Displays the trigger delay.To generate a measurementtrigger delay of 1 second onoutput 1:TRIG:ACQ:DEL 1,(@1)Fetch the MeasurementTo return the triggered voltage or current measurement:Front Panel: SCPI Command:Not available Fetch the voltage parameter:FETC:VOLT?
