When averaging time period finishes.
When averaging time period begins.
For every leading edge of a digitally-modulated (TTL) signal
When a sweep step finishes.
When sweep cycle finishes.
When a sweep cycle starts.
response: none
example: trig1:outp dis
affects: All tunable laser modules, Agilent 8163A/B series power meters, and Agilent 8161x series
return loss modules.
dual sensors: Can only be sent to master channel, slave channel is also affected.
NOTE In continuous mode, wav:swe:step:[widt] is used for triggering, see page 146.
