Arming And Additional Instruments; To Arm Another Instrument - HP 1660CS-Series User Manual

Arming and Additional Instruments

Occasionally you may need to start the analyzer acquiring data when
another instrument detects a problem. Or, you may want to have the
analyzer itself arm another measuring tool. This is accomplished from
the Arming Control field of the Analyzer Trigger menu.

To arm another instrument

Attach a BNC cable from the External Trigger Output port on the
1
back of the logic analyzer to the instrument you want to trigger.
The External Trigger Output port is also referred to as "Port Out." It uses
standard TTL logic signal levels, and will generate a rising edge when trigger
conditions are met.
In the Analyzer Trigger menu, select Arming Control.
2
Arming Control is below the Run button.
Select the Port Out field, and choose Analyzer from the list.
3
If you are using both analyzers, set the Arm Out Sent From field in
4
the upper right corner.
This field does not appear if only one analyzer is configured.
The selected analyzer will send the arm signal when it finds its trigger.
Select Done.
5
When you make a measurement, the analyzer will send an arm signal through
the External Trigger Output when the analyzer finds its trigger.
