9-14 Triggering
a. Operation of Model 6514 starts at point A in the flowchart, where it waits for an external
trigger.
b. Pressing STEP takes Model 7001/2 out of idle and places operation at point B in the
flowchart.
c. For the first pass through Model, the scanner does not wait at point B. Instead, it closes
the first channel (point C).
d. After the relay settles, Model 7001/2 outputs a trigger pulse. Since the instrument is pro-
grammed to scan 10 channels, operation loops back to point B, where it waits for an
input trigger.
e. and f. With Model 6514 at point A, the output trigger pulse from Model 7001/2 triggers a mea-
surement of DUT #1 (point E). After the measurement is complete, Model 6514 outputs
a trigger pulse and then loops back to point A, where it waits for another input trigger.
The trigger applied to Model 7001/2 from Model 6514 closes the next channel in the scan,
which then triggers Model 6514 to measure that DUT. This process continues until all 10 chan-
nels are scanned and measured.
