Details
Set this attribute to the event ID of any trigger event generator to wait for that event. When set, the SMU waits for
the event at the source event detector portion of the trigger model. To bypass waiting for an event, set this
attribute's value to zero (
0
). Set
eventID
to one of the existing trigger event IDs shown in the following table.
Trigger event IDs*
Event ID
Event description
smua.trigger.SWEEPING_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the source-measure unit (SMU)
transitions from the idle state to the arm layer of the
trigger model
smua.trigger.ARMED_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU moves from the arm layer to
the trigger layer of the trigger model
smua.trigger.SOURCE_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU completes a source action
smua.trigger.MEASURE_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU completes a measurement
action
smua.trigger.PULSE_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU completes a pulse
smua.trigger.SWEEP_COMPLETE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU completes a sweep
smua.trigger.IDLE_EVENT_ID
Occurs when the SMU returns to the idle state
digio.trigger[
N
].EVENT_ID
Occurs when an edge is detected on a digital I/O line
tsplink.trigger[
N
].EVENT_ID
Occurs when an edge is detected on a TSP-Link line
lan.trigger[
N
].EVENT_ID
Occurs when the appropriate LXI trigger packet is
received on LAN trigger object
N
display.trigger.EVENT_ID
Occurs when the TRIG key on the front panel is
pressed
trigger.EVENT_ID
Occurs when a *TRG command is received on the
remote interface
GPIB only: Occurs when a GET bus command is
received
VXI-11 only: Occurs with the VXI-11 command
device_trigger
; reference the VXI-11 standard
for additional details on the device trigger operation
trigger.blender[
N
].EVENT_ID
Occurs after a collection of events is detected
trigger.timer[
N
].EVENT_ID
Occurs when a delay expires
* Use the name of the trigger event ID to set the stimulus value rather than the numeric value. Using the name
makes the code compatible for future upgrades (for example, if the numeric values must change when
enhancements are added to the instrument).
Example
smua.trigger.source.stimulus =
digio.trigger[2].EVENT_ID
Configure SMU channel A to
start its source action when a
trigger event occurs on digital
I/O line 2.
