How to Use Output Triggering
start wavelength must be smaller than stop wavelength
the total time of the sweep is too small
the total time of the sweep is too large
the trigger frequency (calculated from sweep speed divided by sweep
step) is too large
step size too small
the number of triggers exceeds the allowed limit
The only allowed modulation source with the lambda logging function is
coherence control.
lambda logging only works "Step Finished" output trigger configuration
on page 165.
