This section describes the front view of the Keysight B2900 series.
• Standby switch
Turns the instrument on or off. When the power is on, the LED below the switch
is turned green.
• Display
Displays the source setup, measurement result, status information, etc. For
details, see
Chapter 4, “Front Panel Reference.”
• Trigger key
Starts a single (one shot) output/measurement or initiates trigger system. If a
repeat measurement is in progress, stops it.
The single measurement is performed with the DC bias output, staircase sweep
output, pulsed bias output, or pulsed sweep output set to the channel. One single
measurement can contain the maximum of 100000 measurement points.
Once a single measurement starts, the data buffer (maximum 100000 data) is
cleared, and the last single measurement result is stored in the buffer. The
measurement result is displayed on the Single view, Dual view, Graph view, or
Roll view.
NOTE If measurement is not performed properly, check the trigger setting. The trigger type
must be set to AUTO, or the trigger count (Count) must be set properly. See
“Trigger parameters” on page 4-17 .
