7.6 Trigger Modes
The Keysight 81150A / 81160A allows you to control the signal generation
in several ways. One of the most important selection is the trigger mode
being used. Basically, there are three different trigger modes, namely,
continuous, triggered, and gated. These are explained below.
The instrument continuously generates the selected waveform, sweep, or
burst. The next cycle is started immediately automatically. This is the only
trigger mode that can be used when modulation is enabled.
The instrument generates exactly one waveform cycle, sweep, or burst. If a
trigger event occurs while a signal is being generated, then this trigger
event is ignored.
The instrument is continuously generating the selected waveform, sweep, or
burst while the selected gate signal is active. If the gate is getting inactive,
the current cycle will be finished. If the gate is getting active again while the
previous cycle is being finished, then there will be no discontinuity at the
output.
In triggered and gated mode, the triggering event or gate signal may be
generated by the following:
External-In
Man key or SCPI command
Internal Trigger Generator
