TriggerAction

Specify the M-file action function to execute when a trigger event occurs

Description

You configure TriggerAction to execute an M-file action function when a trigger event occurs. A trigger event is generated when a trigger occurs in software, or on one of the VXI hardware trigger lines. You configure the trigger type with the TriggerType property.

Note    A trigger event can be generated at any time during the instrument control session.

If the RecordStatus property value is on, and a trigger event occurs, the record file records:

• The event type as Trigger
• The time the event occurred using the format day-month-year hour:minute:second:millisecond
