EXT I/O TRIG signal or the *TRG
command.
Trigger source:
EXTERNAL
• Pressing the [TRIG] key
• Inputting the TRIG signal from the
EXT I/O
• Sending the
*TRG
command
RUN The trigger will be applied
automatically, and measurement
will continue.
Inputting the trigger while the instrument is not in the RUN state will cause measurement to be
performed the set number of times (the default setting is 1), after which the instrument will enter the
standby state and wait for the next trigger.
Measurement data is stored in the instrument’s internal memory (p. 42).

The RUN state can be canceled by sending a communications command
(
:INITIATE:CONTINUOUS OFF
) to the instrument via the RS-232C, USB, GP-IB, or LAN
interface. For more information about commands, see the Communication Command Instruction
Manual on the included application disc.
