3. Select the "External Power Trigger" option.
4. Enter the power level at which the measurement is to be triggered ("External Trig-
ger Level").
5. Enter the minimum power difference that should occur between two trigger events
("Hysteresis").
6. Enter the minimum time that should pass between two trigger events ("Holdoff").
7. Enter the minimum time the signal should remain beneath the trigger level before
the next trigger event occurs ("Dropout").
8. Select whether the measurement is triggered on a rising (positive) or falling (nega-
tive) edge ("Slope").
9. Press the TRIG key on the front panel of the instrument to display the "Trigger"
menu.
10. Press the "Trg/Gate Source" softkey.
11. Select the "Power Sensor" softkey.
12. If necessary, configure the "Gate Settings" to define a gated sweep (see Chap-
ter 3.2.9.3, "Using Gated Sweep Operation", on page 276).
The "Gate Mode" Lvl is not supported for R&S power sensors. The trigger impulse sent
by these sensors is not long enough to be used as a level for the gated sweep.
The R&S FSVA/FSV is configured to trigger when the defined conditions for the power
sensor occur. Power measurement results are provided as usual.
3.9.4 Softkeys of the Power Sensor Menu (R&S FSV-K9)
The following table shows all softkeys available in the "Power Sensor" menu. It is pos-
sible that your instrument configuration does not provide all softkeys. If a softkey is
only available with a special option, model or (measurement) mode, this information is
delivered in the corresponding softkey description.
For details on how to configure and activate power sensors, see Chapter 3.9.1, "Using
Power Sensors", on page 541.

Power Sensor On/Off
Switches the power measurement for all power sensors on or off. Note that in addition
to this general setting, each power sensor can be activated or deactivated individually
in the "Power Sensor Configuration" dialog box (see "Power Sensor Config"
on page 546). However, the general setting overrides the individual settings.
