Overview
In the low-latency external trigger mode, variations in delay time between
the reception of a trigger and the start of a one-point measurement are
decreased for point trigger measurement by using trigger pulses supplied
to the external trigger input terminal. In addition, using this mode will
allow you to decrease the variations in the time required to be ready for
the next measurement trigger after execution of a one-point
measurement. This mode allows you to perform continuous point trigger
measurement in sync with external trigger pulses and accurately set a
trigger delay time at each point-trigger point.
The time required for measurement at each measurement point
•
varies depending on the settings of the E5071C and the type of
measurement. For more information, see
time and point trigger interval.
The low-latency external trigger mode becomes available by turning on the
point trigger function and setting the trigger source to "External."

external trigger mode does not work if it is specified to ON.
The setting of the low-latency external trigger mode is valid for

all channels.
