MultiStage Triggers

MultiStage types arm on the A event, then trigger on a subsequent event. The options for the

triggering event depend on the type of arming event.

Measurement Trigger

Measurement is not technically a trigger, per se, but permits the instrument to stop and display

acquisition based on a post-processing measurement result, similar to a trigger. The available

measurements depend on your model instrument and the options installed, and each will offer a

different method for specifying the "trigger" conditions, based on the type of measurement. Generally,

you will be able to specify a triggering value or range of values, and for @level parameters, the voltage

level at which the measurement is taken.

A measurement can be defined as a standalone trigger condition or as the final condition in a

multistage Cascaded trigger.
