Current
Selects an output current level.
External
Selects ANY pin that has been configured as a Trigger Input on the digital control
port.
Pin<1-7>
Selects a specific pin<n> that is configured as a Trigger Input on the digital con-

Initiate the acquisition system
When the unit is turned on, the trigger system is in the idle state. In this state, the trigger system is
disabled, ignoring all triggers. The INITiate commands enable the trigger system to receive triggers.

It takes a few milliseconds for the instrument to be ready to receive a trigger signal after receiving the
INITiate:ACQuire command. If a trigger occurs before the trigger system is ready for it, the trigger will
be ignored. You can test the WTG_meas bit in the operation status register to know when the
instrument is ready to receive a trigger after being initiated.
Front Panel Menu Reference
Select Measure\Control.
The Trig state field indicates "Initiated".
