Model 2601B-PULSE System SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual Section 6: Triggering

2601B-PULSE-901-01A April 2020 6-5

Figure 75: Trigger model: Asynchronous mode

Trigger model sections

As shown in the previous figures, the trigger model consists of the sections idle, arm layer, and

trigger layer.

The SMU is in the idle state if a sweep is not in process. Use the smua.trigger.initiate()

function to move the SMU from the idle state to the arm layer.
