Triggering the Multimeter

At power-on, the default trigger source is auto-triggering. Auto-triggering takes
continuous readings at the fastest rate possible for the selected measurement
configuration. To make a trigger measurement, follow the steps below:
Immediate Triggering
The immediate triggering mode is available from the remote interface only.
In the immediate trigger mode, the trigger signal is always present. When you
place the multimeter in the wait-for-trigger state, the trigger is issued
immediately. This is the default trigger source for remote interface operation.
– Remote Interface Operation: The following command selects the immediate
Software (Bus) Triggering
The bus trigger mode is available from the remote interface only.
The bus trigger mode is initiated by sending a bus trigger command, after
selecting BUS as the trigger source.
