5.1 Setting the Measurement Mode
Precautions to be taken during measurement
Precautions on the “HOLD” signal of the handler interface
When the HOLD signal of the handler interface is set to “L,” the instrument switches to
the measurement mode regardless of the mode it is currently in (the trigger mode is set
to EXTERNAL), and makes measurements. Since the SETUP/MEAS key is locked, you
will not be able to switch modes using the key. If you wish to do so, first, set the HOLD
signal to “H,” then change the mode using the key or a communication command.
Simply changing the HOLD signal from “L” to “H” does not change the mode. The
measurement continues in this case.
Note
Use the SETUP mode to change the reference value and limit values.
Precautions to be taken when using the trigger input signal
When activating the trigger with the input signal applied to the external trigger input
terminal on the rear panel or the number 8 pin of the handler interface (EXT TRIG), the
unused terminal or pin must be set to open or HI level. Otherwise, the trigger will not
function.
