Functional Groups GPIB Operation
8-10 PN: 10585-00001 Rev. P ML2437A/38A OM/PM
Profile Setup
The PROFILE SETUP function group commands change how the profile is displayed on the
screen. Note that the Display Trigger configuration commands (DTRGD and GRPRD) in this
group do not change how the system triggers, only where the graph is drawn after a trigger
has occurred. Refer to the TRIGGER group functions to configure the measurement
triggering.
Sensor
The SENSOR group commands select the data acquisition controls for the selected sensor.
System
The SYSTEM group commands control the overall functionality of the ML243xA Power
Meter, including the system operation mode, cursor control, display configuration, sound,
printing, battery control and status, rear panel configuration, graphics, system security, and
system identity.
Trigger
The TRIGGER group functions are used to program the triggering of measurement data.
TRIGGER group commands are available in PROFILE operation mode, and in READOUT
mode if the SENSOR > SETUP > MODE submenu is set to CUSTOM.
In CUSTOM, the channels are triggered simultaneously if the trigger conditions are set to 1
and 2. This guarantees the trigger conditions are the same, and therefore the readings are
valid if taken at the same time.
Changes to the trigger configurations can be made using these GPIB commands regardless of
the power meter operating mode, but will not come into play until the unit is configured to
use triggers.
