Tunable Lasers How to Use Triggers
150 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Sixth Edition
How to Use Triggers
Some Tunable Laser modules allow you to trigger the instrument to
perform tasks and to output trigger signals to external measurement
instruments.
How to Use Input Triggering
You can configure your Tunable Laser module to perform certain tasks
when you apply a trigger to the Input Trigger Connector.
To set your module’s Input Trigger Configuration:
1 See “How to Set the Trigger Configuration” on page 69 for how to configure the
trigger connectors.
2 Move to the Tunable Laser channel and press [Menu].
3 Move to <Input Trigger Mode>, by using the cursor key, and press ENTER. You
will see the screen in Figure 79 .
A maximum of 5 V can be applied as an external voltage to the Input
Trigger connector, see page 310.
Take care not to use the Trigger Output connector or the Remote Interlock
connector for modulation. Do not apply an external voltage to these
connectors.
