11 | Keysight | Using an External Trigger to Generate Pulses with the B2960A – Demo Guide
If you set the source trigger count to INFINITY, or the number of external trigger signals
was less than the specified source trigger count, you will need to abort the process.
1) If you aren’t on the top of the Function menu, press repeatedly to return to
the top level.
2) Press , , , and then press to make the channel 1
stop waiting for an external trigger signal.

Conclusion
The Keysight B2960A 6.5 Digit Low Noise Power Source is a bench-top power supply with
revolutionary capabilities and functions not previously available. It can source either voltage or
current with 6.5 digits of resolution while also monitoring them, which is essential for a variety
of measurement applications.
In addition to an arbitrary waveform generation function that allows it to source current/voltage
waveforms in a variety of formats, the B2960A series also has excellent pulsed signal output
function and the triggering capability via its digital I/O signal port.
Configuring the B2960A series properly enables you to use an external trigger to generate puls
-
es to evaluate and analyze a device-under-test (DUT). The addition of an oscilloscope to the
test setup allows you to monitor and analyze the waveforms.
