IviSwtch Send Software Trigger

IviSwtchSoftwareTrigger Capability Group [SWT]

This VI sends a command to trigger the instrument. You must satisfy certain conditions before you can successfully call this VI. The IviSwtch Trigger Input property is set to IVISWTCH_VAL_SOFTWARE_TRIG.

If this condition is not true, this VI does not send the software trigger and returns the error IVISWTCH_ERROR_TRIGGER_NOT_SOFTWARE.

This VI does not check the instrument status. Typically, the end-user calls this VI only in a sequence of calls to other low-level driver VIs. The sequence performs one operation. The end-user uses the low-level VIs to optimize one or more aspects of interaction with the instrument. To check the instrument status, call the IviSwtch Error-Query VI at the conclusion of the sequence.

instrument handle The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviSwtch Initialize or IviSwtch Initialize With Options VI.
error in (no error) The error in cluster can accept error information wired from VIs previously called. Use this information to decide if any functionality should be bypassed in the event of errors from other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.

instrument handle out The instrument handle that you obtain from the IviSwtch Initialize or IviSwtch Initialize With Options VI.
error out The error out cluster passes error or warning information out of a VI to be used by other VIs.

The pop-up option Explain Error (or Explain Warning) gives more information about the error displayed.
