Voltmeter Complete Terminal

Voltmeter Complete Terminal
The rear-panel VM Comp (voltmeter complete) terminal provides a low-true
pulse after the completion of each measurement. Voltmeter complete and
external trigger (see below) implement a standard hardware handshake
sequence between measurement and switching devices.

External Trigger Terminal

You can trigger the meter by applying a low-true pulse to the rear-panel
Ext Trig (external trigger) terminal. To use this terminal from the remote
interface, you must select the external trigger source
(TRIGger:SOURce EXTernal).
You can use a simple switch to generate an external trigger using the
Ext Trig input as shown below.
