Figure 2-23 Trigger Input/Output Example, Staircase Sweep, Negative Logic
The E5260/E5270 sets the measurement conditions, sets the trigger ports, and waits
for a Start Measurement trigger.
By the Start Measurement trigger, the E5260/E5270 starts the staircase sweep
measurement.
By the Start Step Output Setup trigger, the E5260/E5270 waits until the source
trigger delay is elapsed, and sends the Step Output Setup Completion trigger. If the
trigger is received during the hold time, the E5260/E5270 performs this after the
hold time.
By the Start Step Measurement trigger, the E5260/E5270 waits until the
measurement trigger delay is elapsed, executes a step measurement, and sends the
Step Measurement Completion trigger. If the trigger is received during the delay
time, the E5260/E5270 performs this after the delay time.
By the next Start Step Output Setup trigger, the E5260/E5270 changes the source
output value, and waits until the source trigger delay is elapsed, and sends the Step
Output Setup Completion trigger. If the trigger is received during the step delay
time, the E5260/E5270 performs this after the step delay time.
After the staircase sweep measurement, the E5260/E5270 sends the Step
Measurement Completion trigger and the Measurement Completion trigger, and
puts the measurement data in the data output buffer.
