NOTE
Function Details
Channel Grouping
Channel Grouping
This section applies only to 2-channel models. This function is used to control the
channel output timing automatically so that the channel keeps the output while the
other channel performs measurement.
The grouped channels start the source output in the order of channel number, then
start the measurement at the same time, and keep the output until the measurement is
completed. If delay time and wait time are set, this is adjusted by these values.
If the grouping is released, the channels work independently regardless of the
condition of the other channel.
To enable the channel grouping, press the Config > Common > Group > ON
function keys.
To disable the channel grouping, press the Config > Common > Group > OFF
function keys.
Conditions for the channels to group:
•
Trigger source (Trigger value) must be the same.
•
If the trigger source is set to TIMER, the trigger period (Period value) of the
source output trigger (transient action) must be the same. This is not applicable
if the trigger count (Count value) is set to 1.
About Wait Time
If wait time is set, channels cannot start measurement or source output change until
the wait time elapses. See
wait time.
For the grouped channels, the wait time starts at the timing of the last output change
(DC output change or pulse level transition from peak to base) by the last source
output channel.
