Remote operation of the trigger model
Event detection
Once the instrument is taken out of an idle state, operation proceeds through the trigger model to
perform the source, delay, and measure actions.
Operation through the trigger model is delayed at the event detector until the programmed trigger
event occurs. If an event detector has a bypass (:DIRection), operation can be programmed to
loop around the event detector.
