SYSTEM (continued)
Switch Setting Time:
Automatically selected by the mainframe for individual modules;
Additional time from 0 to 99999.999 seconds can be added in 1 ms steps.
Arm Source:
External trigger (from the rear panel Mini DIN connector);
IEEE-488 bus (GET, *TRG, or pressing Step from the front-panel);
Software (TRIGger:IMM);
Internal timer (programmable as 0 to 99999.999 seconds in 1 ms steps).
Trigger Source:
External trigger (from the rear panel Mini DIN connector);
IEEE-488 bus (GET, *TRG, or pressing Step from the front-panel);
Software (Trigger:IMM);
Internal timer (programmable as 0 to 99999.999 seconds in 1 ms steps).

a. Maximum time from activation of external trigger pulse to start of switch open or close.
b. The system speed specification may vary in a small range due to the speed of the remote PC, the GPIB
module, the version of VISA and the version of 3499A/B/C’s firmware used.
c. Measured from the time at which the command terminator is taken from the bus to the time at which the relay
begins to open or close.
