• The instrument makes one measurement.
• If the number of measurements is less than the programmed trigger count, it cycles to make
another measurement (the measurement cycle is repeated indefinitely if the infinite trigger count
is selected).
• For multiple measurements, the instrument waits for the programmed trigger interval (if any)
before making the next measurement.
Figure 8: Local triggering
Configuring trigger attributes in local mode
From the front panel, press the CONFIG key, and then select TRIG. The following menu items
are available:
• TRIGGER-IN: Use these options to select the trigger-in source:
▪ IMMEDIATE: Triggering occurs immediately and the instrument starts to make
measurements when it is ready (for example, after the source output is turned on).
▪ MANUAL: The front-panel TRIG key must be pressed to trigger the instrument to
make readings.
• COUNT: Sets the trigger count (number of measurements) as follows:
▪ FINITE: The instrument goes through measurement cycles for the programmed trigger count
(1 to 99999).
▪ INFINITE: The instrument goes through measurement cycles indefinitely until halted.
• INTERVAL: Sets the time interval between measurements (0 s to 999.999 s) when the count is
greater than 1.
• DELAY: Sets the delay period between the trigger and the start of measurement
(0 s to 999.999 s).
