• The output value before sweeping starts is a bias value.
• When start trigger is input, the start value is output.
• When the Hold time passes after the start trigger, sweeping starts.
• If trigger mode is AUTO, sweep step changes after the period time. However, if measurement has
not completed, the next step is delayed until the measurement is completed.
• If the trigger mode is HOLD, sweep step is enabled whenever the trigger is input.
