Sensor
Different measurement rates are achievable depending on the sensor type being
used, as shown in
Trigger Mode
The power meter has a very flexible triggering system. For simplicity, it can be
described as having three modes:
– Free Run: When a channel is in Free Run, it continuously takes measurements
on this channel. A channel is in free run when
INITiate:CONTinuous
is set to
ON
and
TRIGger:SOURce
is set to
IMMediate
.
– Triggered Free Run: When a channel is in Triggered Free Run Continuous
Trigger, it takes a new measurement each time a trigger event is detected. A
channel is in Triggered Free Run Continuous Trigger when
INITiate:CONTinuous
is set to
ON
and
TRIGger:SOURce
is not set to
IMMediate
.
– Single Shot: When a channel is in Single Shot, it takes a new measurement
when a trigger event is detected and then returns to the idle state. A channel is
in Single Shot when
INITiate:CONTinuous
is set to
OFF
. Note that a
measurement can take several INT/EXT triggers depending on the filter
settings. Refer to
“TRIGger[1]|2:DELay:AUTO <boolean>”
on page 580 for
further information.
