System: 12 V trigger

JP150PCB 1.4since 26.10.1generatedJan PřibyslavskýThis page does not apply to the product or PCB revision chosen in the header.

The 12 V trigger input of PCB 1.4 (Operation: 12 V trigger). On PCB 1.3 the input does not exist: SYS:TRIG? answers N/A, and the three settings are accepted and stored without effect. The module samples the input every 100 ms and accepts a new level after two equal samples. Nothing is acted on in the first 5 s after start; a SigmaStudio programmer session (I2C guard) and a pending power-stage retry take precedence.

Commands

Command Function Parameter Answer Since Boards
SYS:TRIG? Trigger input level – SYS:TRIG:<1|0|N/A> 26.10.1 1.4 (1.3: N/A)
SYS:TRIG:MODE? Trigger mode – SYS:TRIG:MODE:<mode> 26.10.1 1.4 (1.3: stored, no effect)
SYS:TRIG:MODE Set the trigger mode OFF, FOLLOW, ONOFF no answer 26.10.1 1.4 (1.3: stored, no effect)
SYS:TRIG:TARGET? Level the trigger switches down to – SYS:TRIG:TARGET:<level> 26.10.1 1.4 (1.3: stored, no effect)
SYS:TRIG:TARGET Set the level the trigger switches down to PWRSTAGE_IDLE, PWRSTAGE_OFF, SLEEP, STANDBY no answer 26.10.1 1.4 (1.3: stored, no effect)
SYS:TRIG:PRIORITY? Whether the trigger overrides the automatic decisions – SYS:TRIG:PRIORITY:<0|1> 26.10.1 1.4 (1.3: stored, no effect)
SYS:TRIG:PRIORITY Set the trigger priority 0, 1 no answer 26.10.1 1.4 (1.3: stored, no effect)

Since is the release the command appeared in; 26.6.2 is the oldest release documented here, so a command marked 26.6.2 may be older.

SYS:TRIG?

The debounced level of the input. N/A on PCB 1.3, and for about 0.2 s after start until a level has held.

SYS:TRIG?  ->  SYS:TRIG:1

SYS:TRIG:MODE

Commands: SYS:TRIG:MODE?, SYS:TRIG:MODE

OFF ignores the input. FOLLOW: a change to high returns the module to NORMAL, a change to low takes it to the target level; the level found at start counts too, so a module started without a trigger powers down about 5 s after start, and so does a switch to FOLLOW (the current level applies once). The encoder and the commands can still change the level until the trigger changes again. ONOFF: the input is a push button; a press while powered down wakes the module, a press that begins in NORMAL and is held for 1 s powers down to the target level. The press that wakes never powers down, and the level found at start is not a press. An invalid value is an SCPI error. A stored setting (autosave after 0.1 s).

Default: OFF.

Trigger modes

Value Meaning
OFF The trigger input is ignored (default)
FOLLOW High switches to NORMAL, low to the target level, on every change of the level
ONOFF Push button. A press wakes the module; a press held 1 s in NORMAL powers down to the target level
SYS:TRIG:MODE FOLLOW
SYS:TRIG:MODE?  ->  SYS:TRIG:MODE:FOLLOW

SYS:TRIG:TARGET

Commands: SYS:TRIG:TARGET?, SYS:TRIG:TARGET

NORMAL is refused. Unlike the automatic power-down, the target is not limited by the selected input: the trigger itself wakes the module, whatever the level. A stored setting.

Default: SLEEP.

SYS:TRIG:PRIORITY

Commands: SYS:TRIG:PRIORITY?, SYS:TRIG:PRIORITY

FOLLOW mode only. With 1 the automatic decisions never contradict the trigger: no silence power-down while the trigger is high, no audio wake while it is low. With 0 automatic power-down and audio wake work as before, beside the trigger. A stored setting.

Default: 1.
