How to Set the Trigger Configuration
The trigger level at the external trigger connectors is by default active
high, this means when a trigger rises above the high TTL level (rising
edge), a trigger is accepted.
You can select three modes of triggering from the trigger configuration
menu:
•<None>, which you should choose if you do not want to use
triggering.
•<Default>, which you should choose if you want to enable the trigger
connectors.
•<Pass Through>, which you should choose if you want an input
trigger to automatically generate an output trigger. This allows you
to trigger another instrument almost simultaneously.
•<Feedback>, which you should choose if you want an output trigger
to automatically generate an input trigger. For example, using this
mode, you could trigger each step of a wavelength sweep with just
one externally generated input trigger.
To change the triggering mode:
1 Press the Config hardkey.
