410 !
420 !Measurement data of the other instrument should be read.
430 !And the data should be displayed.

450 !The instrument must be set to the measurement ready and
460 !trigger wait condition.
470 !
480 !The instrument must send trigger to E5270. E5270 will
490 !start a step source output by the trigger, and perform
500 !a step measurement.

Line No. Description
320 Starts sweep measurement, and performs a step measurement.
When the Keysight E5260/E5270 starts a step measurement, it
sends a negative gate trigger. Then the other instrument should start
measurement.
390 to 400 Reads the measurement data, and displays the measurement data.
410 to 510 To synchronize the Keysight E5260/E5270 operation with the
operation of other instrument, add program lines to do following:
• To read and display the data measured by the instrument
• To set it to the measurement ready and trigger wait condition
• To send a trigger from the instrument
When the Keysight E5260/E5270 receives the trigger, it starts a
step measurement and sends negative gate trigger.
520 Repeats 390 to 510 the number of times specified by Ib_num.
540 Disables the source/measurement channels.
