Starting the Sweep Operation
Press

Explanation
Starting the Sweep Operation
Set the sweep operation to trigger wait condition. When a trigger is activated, the sweep
operation starts. When the sweep operation is started, one step of the source measure
cycle is executed.
You can generate the start event using the START key on the front panel or a
communication command (“:SWEep:TRIGger,” see section 16.2.4, “Sweep
Commands”). You can also generate the start event with the falling edge of the signal
applied to the BNC input terminal or pin 3 of the external input/output connector on the
rear panel.
When the GS610 is in the start wait state, the wait indicator (WaitStart) illuminates.
When the sweep operation is started, the START key blinks, and WaitStart turns OFF
until the sweep operation is completed.
If a start event occurs in the middle of a sweep operation, the current sweep operation is
cancelled, and the sweep operation is restarted from the beginning.
