To Set Up Triggering Parameter Function 
The DM3000 triggering system allows you to generate triggers either manually or 
automatically, take multiple readings per trigger. The DM3000 also allows you to set 
a level for internal triggering, and to set up pre-triggering. 
 
Selecting a Trigger Source 
Specify the source from which the multimeter will accept a trigger. The power–on 
default is auto triggering from the front panel. Several types of triggering are 
described in the sections that follow. 
 
The power–on trigger default mode was auto trigger (RUN) mode. Press          to go 
to the hold trigger mode. Press          to go to the single trigger mode. A single 
reading is taken, and another reading is taken each time you press          , or when a 
hardware trigger is received on the Ext Trig connector.
