Description

Get Delay

Set or return the trigger delay time in seconds with respect to the trigger for the trigger display location in the LEFT position. Positive values cause the actual trigger to occur after the trigger condition is met. This places the trigger event to the left of the trigger point on the display, and is useful for viewing events during a pulse, some fixed delay time after the rising edge trigger. Negative trigger delay places the trigger event to the right of the trigger point on the display, and is useful for looking at events before the trigger edge.

Get Holdoff

Set or return the trigger holdoff time in seconds. Trigger holdoff is used to disable the trigger for a specified amount of time after each trigger event. The holdoff time starts immediately after each valid trigger edge, and will not permit any new triggers until the time has expired. When the holdoff time is up, the trigger re-arms, and the next valid trigger event (edge) will cause a new sweep. This feature is used to help synchronize the power meter with burst waveforms such as a TDMA or GSM frame. The trigger holdoff resolution is 10 nanoseconds, and it should be set to a time that is just slightly shorter than the frame repetition interval.

Get Holdoff Mode

Sets the holdoff mode to normal or gap holdoff.

Get Level

Set or return the trigger level for synchronizing data acquisition with a pulsed input signal. The internal trigger level entered should include any global offset and will also be affected by the frequency cal factor. The available internal trigger level range is sensor dependent. The trigger level is set and returned in dBm.

Get Mode

Set or return the trigger mode for synchronizing data acquisition with pulsed signals.

Get Position

Set or return the position of the trigger event on displayed sweep.

Get Source

The signal the power meter monitors for a trigger. It can be channel or one of many other values.

Get Status

The status of the triggering system.

Get Vernier

Set or return the fine position of the trigger event on displayed sweep.

Set Delay

Set or return the trigger delay time in seconds with respect to the trigger for the trigger display location in the LEFT position. Positive values cause the actual trigger to occur after the trigger condition is met. This places the trigger event to the left of the trigger point on the display, and is useful for viewing events during a pulse, some fixed delay time after the rising edge trigger. Negative trigger delay places the trigger event to the right of the trigger point on the display, and is useful for looking at events before the trigger edge.

Set Trig Out Mode

Sets the trigger out/mult io mode. Setting trigger mode overrides this command.
