  External Trigger 
In external trigger, the RF signal generator receives the trigger signal input 
from the [TRIGGER IN] connector (as shown in the figure on the next 
page) at the rear panel. If the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the instrument 
starts a sweep each time a TTL pulse signal with the specified polarity is 
received. If the sweep mode is set to "Single", you need to press Single to 
meet the single sweep condition; after that, the instrument starts a sweep 
and then stops each time a TTL pulse signal with the specified polarity is 
received.   
 
To specify the polarity of the TTL pulse signal, press Trig Slope to select 
"Pos" or "Neg" and the default is "Pos".   
 
 
2.  Point Trigger Mode   
Select the trigger mode of each sweep point in a sweep period.   
 
Press SWEEP and use the menu page up/down key

Note: The following descriptions are valid when the trigger mode of the 
corresponding sweep period is met. 
 
  Auto Trigger 
The default mode is auto. If the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the 
instrument will start sweeping each sweep point continuously within a 
sweep period once a sweep manner is selected. If the sweep mode is set to 
"Single", you need to press Single to meet the single sweep condition; 
after that, the instrument starts to sweep and then stops after the sweep 
period expires. 
 
  Key Trigger 
When "Key" trigger is selected, if the sweep mode is set to "Cont", the 
instrument starts to sweep a point each time Key Trig is pressed; if the 
sweep mode is set to "Single", you need to press Single to meet the single 
sweep condition and after that, the instrument starts to sweep a point and 
then stops after the sweep period expires each time Key Trig is pressed.
