Setting External Trigger for Average Power Measurement
There are two modes featured in triggered average power measurement
– Power sweep mode
– Frequency sweep mode
These modes are used to eliminate the need for lengthy test routines, while
increasing measurement throughput by reducing overhead of communication with
the controller. The sweep feature allows you to make power measurement by
quickly stepping through a series of frequencies or power levels. Configuration
shown in Figure 2-19 illustrates the triggering connection required to synchronize
power meter measurement to the power source settings.
Trigger delay and trigger holdoff are both not applicable when the power meter
is set to power sweep mode or frequency sweep mode.
