Setting External Trigger for Average Power Measurement
There are two modes featured in triggered average power measurement
• Power sweep mode
• Frequency sweep mode
These modes are used to eliminate the need for lengthy test routines,
while increasing measurement throughput by reducing overhead of
communication with the controller. The sweep feature allows you to make
power measurement by quickly stepping through a series of frequencies or
power levels. Configuration shown in Figure 2- 19 illustrates the triggering
connection required to synchronize power meter measurement to the
power source settings.
Trigger delay and trigger holdoff are both not applicable when the power meter is set to
power sweep mode or frequency sweep mode.
