For GPIB, the Trig operation generates a hardware trigger called Group Execute Trigger (GET). For VXI, it generates a trigger called Word Serial Pull (WSP).

To display the Trig I/O Table Operation Properties window, first select the operation from the I/O Operation View. Then, open the Properties window for the operation by selecting Properties from the View menu.

The following fields are available:

Operation

Select Trig as the I/O operation type. For more information on types of Operations, see I/O Table Operations.

Timeout

Select or enter a value in milliseconds which represent the amount of time the operation waits for data before timing out. Selecting Default uses the value defined in the driver's I/O Tables Property page. Selecting Forever means that the operation does not time out and ATEasy will wait until it completes. Caution: this can hang the application forever.

On Error

Select the action to perform during an error:

        Default. Performs the action specified in the driver's I/O Tables Property page.

        Ignore. The operation ignores the error and continues to the next statement.

        Report. Report specifies the ATEasy default error handling. Generates recoverable run-time error that can be trapped using OnError module event or try/catch statements. If not trapping is done, the error is reported to the user and to the log control. The user can then select to Abort the application, Retry to repeat the I/O Table or Ignore to continue to the next statement.

For more information on errors, exceptions, and error handling, see Error and Exception Handling.
