get_ptime() → str[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:PTIMe
value: str = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.get_ptime()

Queries the internal processing time. The processing time is the elapsed time between the input of the external trigger event and the output of the baseband signal.

Returns:

arb_trig_proc_time: string

get_rmode() → TrigRunMode[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:RMODe
value: enums.TrigRunMode = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.get_rmode()

Queries the status of waveform output.

Returns:

rmode: STOP | RUN RUN Outputs the waveform. A trigger event occurred in the triggered mode. STOP No waveform output. A trigger event did not occur in the triggered modes, or waveform output was stopped/armed.

get_sequence() → DmTrigMode[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:[TRIGger]:SEQuence
value: enums.DmTrigMode = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.get_sequence()

Selects the trigger mode:

  • AUTO = auto

  • RETRigger = retrigger

  • AAUTo = armed auto

  • ARETrigger = armed retrigger

  • SINGle = single

See also ‘About trigger modes’.

Returns:

sequence: AUTO | RETRigger | AAUTo | ARETrigger | SINGle

get_sl_unit() → UnitSlB[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:SLUNit
value: enums.UnitSlB = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.get_sl_unit()

Sets the unit for the entry of the length of the signal sequence to be output in the Single trigger mode.

Returns:

sl_unit: SEQuence | SAMPle

get_slength() → int[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:SLENgth
value: int = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.get_slength()

Sets the length of the signal sequence that is output in the SINGle trigger mode.

Returns:

slength: integer The maximum value depends on the selected units method RsSmw.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.sl_unit() as follows: SAMPle: Max = 232-1 SEQuence: Max = 1000 Range: 1 to dynamic

get_smode() → ArbTrigSegmModeNoEhop[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:SMODe
value: enums.ArbTrigSegmModeNoEhop = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.get_smode()

Selects the extended trigger mode for multi segment waveforms.

Returns:

smode: SAME | NEXT | SEQuencer | NSEam NSEam = Next Segment Seamless

get_source() → TrigSour[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:SOURce
value: enums.TrigSour = driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.get_source()

Selects the trigger signal source and determines the way the triggering is executed. Provided are the following trigger sources:

  • INTernal: Internal manual triggering of the instrument

  • INTA | INTB: Internal triggering by a signal from the other basebands

  • External trigger signal via one of the local or global connectors:

  • EGT1 | EGT2: External global trigger

  • EGC1 | EGC2: External global clock

  • ELTRigger: External local trigger

  • ELCLock: External local clock

  • For secondary instruments (SCONfiguration:MULTiinstrument:MODE SEC) , triggering

via the external baseband synchronization signal of the primary instrument: SOURce1:BB:ARB:TRIGger:SOURce BBSY

  • OBASeband | BEXTernal | EXTernal: Setting only Provided only for backward

compatibility with other Rohde & Schwarz signal generators. The R&S SMW200A accepts these values and maps them automatically as follows: EXTernal = EGT1, BEXTernal = EGT2, OBASeband = INTA or INTB (depending on the current baseband)

Returns:

source: INTB | INTernal | OBASeband | EGT1 | EGT2 | EGC1 | EGC2 | ELTRigger | INTA | ELCLock | BEXTernal | EXTernal | BBSY

set_sequence(sequence: DmTrigMode) → None[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:[TRIGger]:SEQuence
driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.set_sequence(sequence = enums.DmTrigMode.AAUTo)

Selects the trigger mode:

  • AUTO = auto

  • RETRigger = retrigger

  • AAUTo = armed auto

  • ARETrigger = armed retrigger

  • SINGle = single

See also ‘About trigger modes’.

Parameters:

sequence – AUTO | RETRigger | AAUTo | ARETrigger | SINGle

set_sl_unit(sl_unit: UnitSlB) → None[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:SLUNit
driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.set_sl_unit(sl_unit = enums.UnitSlB.SAMPle)

Sets the unit for the entry of the length of the signal sequence to be output in the Single trigger mode.

Parameters:

sl_unit – SEQuence | SAMPle

set_slength(slength: int) → None[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:SLENgth
driver.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.set_slength(slength = 1)

Sets the length of the signal sequence that is output in the SINGle trigger mode.

Parameters:

slength – integer The maximum value depends on the selected units method RsSmw.source.bb.arbitrary.trigger.sl_unit() as follows: SAMPle: Max = 232-1 SEQuence: Max = 1000 Range: 1 to dynamic

set_smode(smode: ArbTrigSegmModeNoEhop) → None[source]
# [SOURce<HW>]:BB:ARBitrary:TRIGger:SMODe
