Average only mode external trigger
The U2020 X-Series also supports an external trigger in the average only mode.
The external trigger can be used to synchronize noise-like modulated signals with
the average measurement. By adjusting the aperture size and trigger delay, there
is more control on which part of the waveform is being measured. This feature
complements the time-gated function of the normal mode (peak mode) by
offering a wider power range and a faster measurement speed but without the
trace display.
