1 Power Meter Remote Operation

Sensor

Different measurement rates are achievable depending on the sensor type being
used:
8480 Series and N8480 Series
E-Series E4410, E9300
E-Series E9320,
AVERage only mode
E-Series E9320,
NORMal mode

Trigger mode

The power meter has a very flexible triggering system. For simplicity, it can be
described as having three modes:
– Free Run: When a channel is in Free Run, it continuously takes measurements
– Triggered Free Run: When a channel is in Triggered Free Run Continuous
– Single Shot: When a channel is in Single Shot, it takes a new measurement

on this channel. A channel is in free run when INITiate:CONTinuous is set to
ON and TRIGger:SOURce is set to IMMediate.
Trigger, it takes a new measurement each time a trigger even is detected. A
channel is in Triggered Free Run Continuous Trigger when
INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON and TRIGger:SOURce is not set to
IMMediate.
when a trigger event is detected and then returns to the idle state. A channel is
in Single Shot when INITiate:CONTinuous is set to OFF. Note that a
measurement can take several INT/EXT triggers depending on the filter
settings. Refer to TRIGger[1]|2:DELay:AUTO <boolean> in Chapter 13 for
further information.
