Triggering 9-13
The trigger link connections for this test system are shown in Figure 9-8. The trigger link of
Model 6514 is connected to the trigger link (IN or OUT) of the switching mainframe. Note that
with the default trigger settings of the switching mainframe, line #1 is an input and line #2 is an
output.
For this example, Model 6514 and switching mainframe are configured as follows:
To store readings in Model 6514 buffer, press STORE and set the buffer size to 10. When
ENTER is pressed, the asterisk (*) annunciator turns on to indicate the buffer is enabled (see
Section 8 for details on buffer operation).
To start the test, press STEP on the switching mainframe to take it out of idle and start the
scan. The switching mainframes output pulse triggers Model 6514 to take a reading and store it.
Model 6514 then sends an output trigger pulse to the switching mainframe to close the next
channel. This process continues until all 10 channels are scanned, measured and stored.
Details of this testing process are explained in the following paragraphs and are referenced to
the operation model shown in Figure 9-9.
