get(trigger=Trigger.Default) → TriggerMode[source]
# TRIGger<*>:MODE
value: enums.TriggerMode = driver.trigger.mode.get(trigger = repcap.Trigger.Default)

Sets the trigger mode which determines the behaviour of the instrument if no trigger occurs.

Parameters:

trigger – optional repeated capability selector. Default value: Nr1 (settable in the interface ‘Trigger’)

Returns:

trigger_mode: AUTO | NORMal | FREerun

  • AUTO: The instrument triggers repeatedly after a time interval if the trigger conditions are not fulfilled. If a real trigger occurs, it takes precedence. The time interval depends on the time base.

  • NORMal: The instrument acquires a waveform only if a trigger occurs.

  • FREerun: The instrument triggers after a very short time interval - faster than in AUTO mode. Real triggers are ignored.

set(trigger_mode: TriggerMode, trigger=Trigger.Default) → None[source]
# TRIGger<*>:MODE
driver.trigger.mode.set(trigger_mode = enums.TriggerMode.AUTO, trigger = repcap.Trigger.Default)

Sets the trigger mode which determines the behaviour of the instrument if no trigger occurs.

Parameters:

  • trigger_mode –

    AUTO | NORMal | FREerun

    • AUTO: The instrument triggers repeatedly after a time interval if the trigger conditions are not fulfilled. If a real trigger occurs, it takes precedence. The time interval depends on the time base.

    • NORMal: The instrument acquires a waveform only if a trigger occurs.

    • FREerun: The instrument triggers after a very short time interval - faster than in AUTO mode. Real triggers are ignored.

  • trigger – optional repeated capability selector. Default value: Nr1 (settable in the interface ‘Trigger’)
