Trigger Input
The 4155B/4156B can receive an edge trigger from external instruments via the

Figure 3-6 Examples of Externally Triggered Measurements
After you press the Single, Repeat, or Append front-panel key, the 4155B/4156B
waits for the trigger signal only once. When the 4155B/4156B receives the trigger
signal, the 4155B/4156B starts measurements.
For staircase sweep measurements, you can specify the step delay time shown in
