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 on this channel. A channel is in free run when
INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON and TRIGger:SOURce is set to
IMMediate.
• Triggered Free Run: When a channel is in Triggered Free Run
Continuous 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.
• Single Shot: When a channel is in Single Shot, it takes a new
measurement 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.
