Refresh Mode

N O T E

Window mode is not currently implemented in the N774xA and N775xA. For
compatibility with existing software it can be selected but functions the same as
Refresh mode.

N O T E

The minimum sampling period in Min/Max mode, dependent on the rate of
commands and number of active ports, is about 2 ms.

How to Use External Triggers

The Optical Multiport Power Meter lets you trigger the instrument to
perform tasks and to output trigger signals to external measurement
instruments using the rear panel BNC connectors.
