placed in an external trigger mode where a pro-
grammed event is required to cause a measurement
(device action).
The instrument is placed in the external trigger mode by
pressing the EX TRIG key. In this mode, a device action
(measurement) will occur when the TRIG key is pressed,
a bus trigger (*TRG or GET) is received, or an input trig-
ger via the TRIGGER LINK connector is received. After
the device action (measurement), an output trigger
occurs and is available at the TRIGGER LINK connector.
Refer to the Model 2010 User’s Manual for details on
using the trigger link. Pressing EX TRIG a second time
returns the instrument to continuous operation.
Delay — A programmable delay is available before the
device action (measurement) occurs. It can be set man-
ually or an auto delay can be used. To set a delay, press
SHIFT and then DELAY. Use the ▲ and ▼ keys to select
AUTO or MANual. If MANual is chosen, enter the dura-
tion of the delay and press ENTER. The AUTO delay
times are listed in Table 3-2 of the Model 2010 User’s
Manual.

The Model 2010 can be used with an internal scanner
card (Model 2000 SCAN or 2001-TCSCAN), or with
external scanner cards installed in a switching main-
frame (i.e., Model 7001 and 7002 or 707).
Step/Scan configuration — A “walk-through” menu is
provided to configure stepping or scanning. The main
menu is accessed by pressing SHIFT and then CONFIG.
Use the , , ▲, ▼, and ENTER keys to select scan
type (INTernal or EXTernal), first channel in the scan
(MINimum CHANnel), last channel in the scan (MAXi-
mum CHANnel), time between scans, and reading
count (RDG CNT).
