Using the Solar Array Simulator 4Series E4360 User’s Guide 71Initiate the Trigger System and Provide a TriggerFirst, make sure that the selected output is enabled.Front Panel: SCPI Command:Select the correct channel.Press the On/Off key.To enable output 1:OUTP ON,(@1)At turn-on, the trigger system is in the Idle state, in which all triggers areignored. Initiating the trigger system moves it from the Idle state to theInitiated state, which enables the SAS to receive triggers.Front Panel: SCPI Command:Select the Transient\Control.Select Initiate to initiate thetrigger system.To initiate the trigger system forall outputs:INIT:TRAN (@1,2)NOTE The largest lists can take up to one minute to initialize. When the tran-WTG status bit is set, initialization is complete and the list is ready tobe triggered.The trigger system is waiting for a trigger signal in the Initiated state.You can immediately trigger the output as follows:Front Panel: SCPI Command:Select Transient\Control.Select Trigger to generate animmediate trigger. Thisgenerates a trigger on bothoutput channels.To generate an immediate trigger:TRIG:TRAN (@1,2)If the trigger source is BUS, youcan send *TRG or an IEEE-488.When a trigger is received, the list is started and advances to the firstcurve. Subsequent triggers will continue to pace the list. If the list isdwell-paced, the dwell times will continue to pace the list.If the list count is greater than one, you will need to initiate the transientsystem again to trigger the next round. To keep the transient systeminitiated, set the trigger action to Continuous mode.Front Panel: SCPI Command:Select Transient\Control.Check the Init Continuous box.INIT:CONT 1,(@1,2)If a digital pin is configured as the trigger source, the instrument willwait for the trigger signal. If the trigger does not occur, you canmanually return the trigger system to the Idle state.Front Panel: SCPI Command:Select Transient\Control.Press Abort.ABOR:TRAN (@1)
