Figure 5-2 Transition flow from waiting for trigger state to measurement state
Measurement state (sequence operation state)
Measurement is performed in the measurement state. After transiting from
“Waiting for trigger state (trigger event detect state)” to the measurement
state, then wait for trigger delay and source delay
.When the measurement is
finished, the state transitions to a different state depending on the setup of the
continuous activation of the trigger system (set with :INITiate:CONTinuous
on page 227) as shown below.
When the continuous activation is OFF:
Transition to the idle state (c in Figure 5-1)
When the continuous activation is ON:
Transition to the waiting for trigger state (d in Figure 5-1)
Starting (triggering) measurement
Follow the procedure below to perform successive measurements
automatically (initial setup).
Step 1. Set the trigger mode to the internal trigger with the
:TRIGger[:SEQ1]:SOURce command on page 305.
Step 2. If the trigger system has not started up (in the idle state), use the
:INITiate:CONTinuous command on page 227 to turn ON the continuous
activation of the trigger system.
