TRIG:STATe?
This is a query only command. The response will define the state of the transient trigger
system as follows:
• IDLE
The trigger is in the idle state.
• ARM
The trigger is waiting for internal syncronization or external trigger
• BUSY
The triggered transient is in progress.
• WTRIG
The unit is waiting for a trigger event.
On Series II controllers, the trigger state will be updated when the last list point has been
executed. For final voltage or frequency steps with a longer dwell time than needed to reach
the end value, this means the response may change from BUSY to IDLE before the dwell
time has expired. If this affects the application program, it will be necessary to add a final list
point with a short durating (e.g. 0.001 second) to hold the BUSY state till the end of the list.
Note: Firmware revision 0.31 or lower will respond with “ARM” instead of “IDLE” at the end
of transient execution even if the trigger mode is immediate.
