Starting a Measurement Cycle (triggering the instrument)
Configuring the instrument to automatically perform continuous measurement
Step 1. When the trigger system does not run (“Idle” state), use the :INIT:CONT
command to turn on the continuous initiation mode.
Step 2. Issue the :TRIG:SOUR command to set the trigger source to the internal
trigger.
Starting Measurement on Demand
There are two ways to start measurement on demand.
Trigger the instrument to start measurement when the trigger system
is in the “Waiting for Trigger” state
Put the E4980A/AL in the “Waiting for Trigger” state and start measurement
whenever you want. In cases where it takes some time to obtain stable
measurement values, a controller can control the timing for triggering.
Follow the steps below.
Step 1. When the trigger system is not operating (“Idle” state), use the :INIT:CONT
command to turn on the continuous initiation mode.
Step 2. Issue the :TRIG:SOUR command to set the trigger source to “Bus Trigger.”
Step 3. Trigger the instrument whenever you want to perform measurement. An
external controller can trigger the instrument with one of the following two
commands:
Step 4. Repeat Step 3 to start the next measurement cycle.
Obtaining measurement data on demand while continuous sweep is
performed
Start measurement whenever you want while the E4980A/AL performs
continuous measurement.
Follow the steps below.
Step 1. When the trigger system is operating (any state other than “Idle”), abort the
trigger system using the :ABOR command.
