Using Triggers
PAT-T has three different trigger subsystems: TRANsient, OUTPut, and ACQuire. In the normal SCPI specifications, each trigger subsystem is grouped into a numbered trigger sequence. TRANsient, OUTPut, and ACQuire are mapped to SEQuence1, SEQuence2, SEQuence3, respectively.
The functional assignments of each sequence number are specific to the PAT-T. The assignment is not necessarily the same as other models that have the SCPI language implemented.

When the PAT-T is turned on, all the trigger subsystems are in the IDLE state. In this state, the trigger subsystems ignore all triggers. Sending one of the following commands at any time also causes the trigger subsystems to return to the IDLE state.
