Predefined trigger models
The Model DMM7510 includes predefined trigger models for common applications. You can use
these predefined trigger models without changing them, or you can modify them to meet the needs of
your application.
The predefined trigger models include:
•
Empty:
Clears the present trigger model.
•
ConfigList:
Creates a trigger model that loads a configuration list. At each configuration list
index, a measurement is made. The list is iterated until every index in the configuration list has
been loaded.
•
LogicTrigger:
Creates a trigger model that waits on an input line, delays, makes a measurement,
and sends out a trigger on the output line a specified number of times.
•
SimpleLoop:
Creates a trigger model that makes a specified number of readings. A count
parameter defines the number of readings.
•
DurationLoop:
Creates a trigger model that makes continuous measurements for a specified
amount of time.
•
LoopUntilEvent:
Creates a trigger model that makes continuous measurements until a specified
event occurs.
•
GradeBinning:
Creates a trigger model that successively measures components and compares
their readings to high or low limits to grade components.
•
SortBinning:
Creates a trigger model that successively measures components and compares
their readings to high or low limits to sort components.
•
Keithley2001:
Creates a multi-layer trigger model with parameters for bypass, count, and delay.
Using a predefined trigger model
Before starting the trigger model, you need to set up your instrument for testing, including the
measure or digitize settings and configuration lists.
When you load a predefined trigger model, the instrument overwrites any existing trigger models.
Using the front panel:
1. Press the
MENU
key.
2. Under Trigger, select
Templates
.
3. Next to Templates, select the trigger model template to use.
4. If the template you select has additional settings, you can use the default values or make any
necessary changes to the settings.
5. Press the
TRIGGER
key to initiate the trigger model.
The trigger mode indicator shows the status
of the trigger mode. See
(on page 2-15) for descriptions of the indicators.
