Number Of Samples Per Trigger; Trigger Delay - Agilent Technologies 34410A User Manual

2 Features and Functions

Number of Samples per Trigger

By default, when the multimeter is in the wait–for–trigger state, it takes
one reading (or sample) each time you trigger the multimeter. You can,
however, instruct the multimeter to take up to 50,000 readings (up to 1
million for model 34411A) each time a trigger is initiated, whether from
the front panel or remote interface.
• Front Panel Operation: To change the number of samples taken per trigger,
• Remote Interface Operation: The following command selects the number of

Trigger Delay

You can manually specify a delay between the trigger signal and the first
sample that follows. This may be useful in applications where you want to
allow the input signal to settle before taking a reading, or for pacing a
burst of readings.
• The trigger delay may be set from 0 to 3600 seconds.
• If a trigger delay is not manually set, the default trigger delay is
• If you manually specify a trigger delay, that delay is used for all
