Triggering
Trigger model (front panel operation)
The flowchart in Figure 10-1 summarizes triggering for front panel operation. The trigger
model is modeled after the remote commands used to control triggering. Refer to
Trigger
model (remote operation)
later in this section. Key trigger model settings are included in the
flowchart. Note that the BENCH defaults are denoted by the “
✛
” symbol.
The primary actions of the trigger model are Source, Delay, and Measure. The source action
outputs the programmed voltage or current value, and the programmed delay provides a set-
tling period for the source before the measurement is performed.
The trigger model consists of two layers (Arm Layer and Trigger Layer) to provide versatil-
ity. Programmable counters allow operations to be repeated, and various input and output trig-
ger options are available to provide source-measure synchronization between the SourceMeter
and other instruments (via the Trigger Link).
Unless otherwise noted, the programmable aspects of the trigger model are performed from
the CONFIGURE TRIGGER menu. See
Configuring triggering
.
Idle
The SourceMeter is in idle when it is not operating in the Arm Layer or Trigger Layer of the
trigger model. When in idle, the ARM annunciator is off. To take the SourceMeter out of idle,
turn the output ON.
The SourceMeter can be returned to idle at any time by selecting the HALT menu item of
the CONFIGURE TRIGGER menu. See
Configuring triggering
