Sensor
Different measurement rates are achievable depending on the sensor type being
used, as shown in Table 1-4:
Table 1-4 Model of Sensor and Measurement Rates
Trigger Mode
The power meter has a very flexible triggering system. For simplicity, it can be
described as having three modes:
– Free Run: When a channel is in Free Run, it continuously takes measurements
on this channel. A channel is in free run when INITiate:CONTinuous is set to
ON and TRIGger:SOURce is set to IMMediate.
– Triggered Free Run: When a channel is in Triggered Free Run Continuous
Trigger, it takes a new measurement each time a trigger event is detected.
A channel is in Triggered Free Run Continuous Trigger when
INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON and TRIGger:SOURce is not set to
IMMediate.
