OUTPut:EXTernal[:STATe] <mode> enables or disables the "Trig Out" port on
the E1406A Command Module to output a trigger when a channel is closed
during a scan. ON | 1 enables the port and OFF | 0 disables the port.
Parameters
Comments Enabling "Trig Out" Port: When enabled, a pulse is output from the "Trig Out"
port after each scanned switchbox channel is closed. If disabled, a pulse is
not output from the port after channel closures. The output pulse is a +5V
negative-going pulse.
"Trig Out" Port Shared by Switchboxes: When enabled, the "Trig Out" port is
pulsed by any switchbox each time a scanned channel is closed. To disable
the output for a specific module, send OUTPut:EXTernal[:STATe] OFF or
OUTPut:EXTernal[:STATe] 0 for that module.
One Output Selected at a Time: Only one output (TTLTrg or EXTernal) can be
enabled at one time. Enabling a different output source will automatically
disable the active output.
