Note: The decision blocks labeled HOLD are associated with both hold and extemal triggered
operation. When hold is programmed, the decision is always yes. When triggered operation is
programmed, the decision is no, starting when a trigger is received and continuing unit! the dig-
ital readout is updated. The decision then reverts to yes until receipt of the next trigger. Thus,
when the Power Meter is programmed for external triggering, it will provide output data only
after receiving a trigger in the listen mode.
