Appendix 10. Trigger System and Data Transfer Comparison
The trigger systems of the E4980A and 4284A are compatible
The only difference between them is under the remote condition when the trigger source is "external" as shown in
Figure 20. The "INIT:CONT ON" command doesn't function as defined (continuously proceed the trigger status to
"Waiting for trigger") in the 4284A; however, this condition does function in this manner on the E4980A system. If your
system uses random pulse to trigger the signal, and the "INIT:IMM" command to synchronize the system, you will need
to send the ":INIT:CONT OFF" command to the E4980A in advance.
The data transfer systems of the E4980A and the 4284A are the same.
