After you bring up the display page using the [Display Format] key,
the instrument performs one cycle of measurement each time you

the instrument performs one cycle of measurement each time a
rising TTL pulse is input to the external trigger input terminal on
the rear panel. In the EXT (external trigger) mode, you can also
trigger the instrument by short-circuiting the core wire of the
external trigger input terminal and the instrument's ground line
(the core wire is connected to a circuit that contains a pull-up
resistor). Figure 4-2
Also, you can trigger the instrument from the handler interface or
scanner interface.
The E4980A/AL performs one cycle of measurement each time it
receives a trigger command sent via GPIB/USB/LAN.
