Keysight B2980B Series - Trigger Source; Device Actions

Keysight B2980B User’s Guide, Edition 1 239
Function Details
Trigger System
Trigger Source
B2980 supports the following trigger sources. The trigger source must be set to
the ARM event and the TRIGGER event individually.
• AUTO (automatic internal, AINT): Trigger source best suited for the present
operating mode is automatically selected by the internal algorithms.
• BUS: Remote interface trigger command such as GET, TRIGger, and *TRG
• TIMER (timer, TIMer): Signal internally generated every interval set by the
Period field
• INT1 or INT2 (internal): Signal from the internal bus 1 or 2
• EXT1, EXT2, EXT3, EXT4, EXT5, EXT6, or EXT7 (external): Signal from the DIO
pin n, which is an I/O port of the Digital I/O D-sub connector on the rear panel.
n = 1 to 7
• LAN: LXI trigger
• TIN: Signal from the Trigger Input connector
Device Actions
B2980 supports the following device actions. Also see Figure 5-11.
• Transient device action (voltage source output for B2985B/B2987B)
Voltage source channel starts voltage output for applying one output value if
the TRIGGER event was detected and the Source delay time elapsed.
• Acquire device action (measurement)
Measurement channel starts measurement for obtaining one measurement
data if the TRIGGER event was detected and the Measure delay time elapsed.
