Trigger Functions
Performing measurement with single trigger
Time waveform mode
The operation principle when using time waveform mode is illustrated below.
1. Make the required measurement parameter settings.
Note
During trigger operation, measurement parameters
such as input range, frequency span, and number of
analysis lines cannot be changed. Set these parameters
before pressing the START/STOP key.
2. Press the START/STOP key.
The unit goes into the trigger standby condition, and the
symbol
ashes in the left side of the display.
Note
To pause trigger operation, press the PAUSE/CONT
key. While trigger operation is paused, any trigger
occurrence will be disregarded. To resume trigger
operation, press the PAUSE/CONT key once more.
Trigger operation can be terminated by pressing the
START/STOP key during trigger standby.
3. When the trigger condition is met, the “START” message appears,
and the waveform for one frame is displayed. Next, the “STOP”
message is shown. The display indication is held.
4. When you press the START/STOP key, the unit again goes into the
trigger standby condition of step 2. If you want trigger operation to
stop at this point, change the trigger operation setting in the [Measure]
menu screen to “Free”.
