Trigger mode
This multimeter has two types of trigger mode.
– Internal — triggers measurements continuously.
– External — triggers a measurement only when a direction is given.
The external trigger is used with a delay settling that has been set by the
multimeter automatically. The amount of trigger delay varies depending on
different function. When external trigger is enabled, the multimeter determines
the range for the primary display based on the input at that time.
Autoranging response time is required before a reading is displayed when you
change the input after a trigger is received.
