Trigger Mode [TRIG]
The instrument has 4 trigger modes:
Internal trigger, manual trigger, external trigger and remote trigger.
Trigger Mode Description
INT
Also called continuous test, the trigger signal is continuously tested by the
internal period of the instrument according to the inherent period.
MAN
Each time the [Trig] key is pressed, the instrument performs a measurement
cycle, and the instrument is in a waiting state at other times.
EXT
A rising edge pulse is received from the rear panel Handler interface and the
instrument performs a measurement cycle. At other times the instrument is
in a waiting state. Please refer to the Handler interface
BUS
After receiving the RS232 trigger command, the instrument performs a
measurement cycle, at other times the instrument is in a waiting state.
Procedure for setting the trigger mode
:
Step 1
Press [Meas] key to enter <MEAS DISPLAY> page;

Test Signal Voltage Level [LEVEL]
Test level of the instrument is set with the true RMS value of the sine wave signal. The
frequency of the sine wave signal is the test frequency and is generated by the internal
oscillator of the instrument.
The output impedance of the instrument source can be set to 30
Ω
, 50
Ω
or 100
Ω
. Usually an
output impedance of 30
Ω
is suitable.
If users do not require a level, please specify a 1V level for testing.
The test voltage and test current of the instrument can be set according to the specifications.
If the constant level function is turned on, "*" is added as the mark at the end of the level
setting value.
Procedure for setting the test signal
:
Step 1
Press [Meas] key to enter <MEAS DISPLAY> page;
Step 2
Use the cursor keys to select [Level] field;
Step 3
Use soft keys to increase or decrease the level
Input data directly, soft key to select voltage or current unit.
