Selecting Sweep Trigger/Measurement Point Trigger
You can select whether the event to be triggered (the trigger event) is a single sweep or a
measurement at a single point.
Step 1. Press the
[Trigger]
key to display the trigger menu.
Step 2. Press the
SOURCE [ ]
key to display the trigger source menu.
Step 3. Press the
EVENT [ ]
key to select the event to be triggered (pressing the key toggles the
selection).
NOTE If the internal trigger (free-run) is selected in “Selecting a Method to Start Measurement
(Trigger Source)” on page 111, the sweep specified in “Specifying Sweep Times and
Stopping Sweep” on page 114 is performed regardless of which trigger event is selected.
Note that a sweep takes a longer time when measurement point is selected for the trigger
event than when sweep is selected. This is because the instrument requires an additional
process to trigger measurement at each point.
