Using a predefined trigger model
Before starting the trigger model, you need to set up your instrument for testing, including the source
and measurement settings. The trigger model will use these settings when making measurements.
Loading a predefined trigger model overwrites any existing trigger models.
Using the front panel:
1. Press the MENU key.
2. Under Trigger, select Templates.
3. Next to Trigger Model, select the trigger model template to use.
4. If the template you select has additional settings, you can use the default values or make any
necessary changes to the settings.
5. Select Generate.
6. Press TRIGGER to initiate the trigger model. The trigger mode indicator shows the status of the
trigger mode. See Trigger mode indicator (on page 2-16
) for descriptions of the indicators.
