1 N432A Remote Operation
A trigger event can be any of the following:
NOTE
– The input signal meeting the trigger level criteria.
– Auto-level triggering being used.
– A TRIGger[1][:IMMediate] or GET command being sent.
Trigger with delay
This can be achieved using the same sequences above (apart from the second)
with
operates in the trigger with delay mode.
In the trigger with delay mode, a measurement is not completed until the N432A
filter is full. In this way, the reading returned is guaranteed to be settled. In all
other modes, the result returned is simply the current result from the filter and
may or may not be settled. This depends on the current length of the filter and the
number of readings that have been taken since a change in power level.

Output format

The N432A has two output formats for measurement results: ASCii and REAL.
These formats are selected using the FORMat[:READings][:DATA]
<character_data> command. When the format is set to REAL, the returned
result is in the IEEE-754 floating-point format (note that the byte order can be
changed using the FORMat[:READings]:BORDer <character_data>
command).

Units

The N432A can output results in either linear or log units. The internal units are
linear, therefore optimal performance is achieved when the result outputs are also
in linear units (since the overhead of performing a log function is removed).
