Free Run
In Free Run mode a new measurement is started immediately without waiting for a trigger event and
without fixed time reference. The Trigger Settings are not valid.
Free Run means that a measurement in Continuous Sweep mode is repeated as fast as possible.
Remote control:
TRIGger[:SEQuence]:SOURce IMMediate
External
In External trigger mode the measurement is triggered by an external TTL signal applied to the BNC
connector EXT TRIGGER / GATE IN on the rear panel. No additional setting for signal routing is required.
Selecting External... opens a dialog to select whether the rising or the falling edge of the external trigger
signal provides the trigger event.
The period of the external trigger signal should be adjusted to the triggered measurement sequence.
If the analyzer receives a trigger event while the last sequence is still running, the trigger event is
skipped and a message Trigger event missed is displayed.
