Starting (triggering) measurement
Follow the procedure below to perform successive measurements automatically
(initial setup).
Step 1. Set the trigger mode to the internal trigger with the :TRIG:SOUR command on page 196.
Step 2. If the trigger system has not started up (in the idle state), use the :INIT:CONT command on
page 183 to turn ON the continuous activation of the trigger system.
Two methods to perform a measurement at your desired time:
Triggering the instrument at your desired time
Step 1. Use the :TRIG:SOUR command to set the trigger mode to the GPIB mode.
Step 2. If the trigger system has not started up (in the idle state), use the :INIT:CONT command to
turn ON the continuous activation of the trigger system.
Step 3. Trigger the instrument at your desired time. An external controller can trigger the
instrument with one of the following two commands:
Step 4. To repeat measurement, repeat Step 3.
Starting up the trigger system at your desired time
Step 1. If the trigger system has started up (in a state other than the idle state), use the :INIT:CONT
command to turn OFF the continuous activation of the trigger system and then use the
:ABOR command on page 130 to stop the trigger system.
Step 2. Set the trigger mode to the internal trigger with the :TRIG:SOUR command.
Step 3. Start up the trigger system with the :INIT command on page 183 at your desired time. The
instrument will be automatically triggered by the internal trigger and measurement will be
performed once.
Step 4. To repeat measurement, repeat Step 3.
