NAME

INST_TRIGGER − Compiled SCPI Commands
 

SYNOPSIS

 
INST_TRIGGER (id);
 

DESCRIPTION

 
This is a Compiled SCPI macro command. The instrument trigger command sends an IEEE-488.2 equivalent group execute trigger to the instrument specified by the id parameter.
 

PARAMETERS

id

The user variable name for the instrument.  This is the variable name that you assign to the instrument in the INST_DECL or INST_EXTERN command.  For example,
 
INST_DECL (vm, "E1411B", REGISTER);
 
assigns vm as an instrument data pointer to the E1411B.  Now when you use vm as the id in INST_TRIGGER, a instrument trigger is sent to the HP E1411B.
 

COMMENTS

 
For MESSAGE configurations, C-SCPI uses the HP SICL itrigger (id) function.  See the HP SICL documentation for additional information.
 

EXAMPLE

 
This example shows the instrument trigger command being used.
 

INST_DECL(vm, "E1411B", REGISTER);
 main()
{
INST_STARTUP();
INST_OPEN (vm, "VXI,24");
.
.
INST_TRIGGER(vm);
.
}
