- Page 2 This demonstration guide highlights the excellent measurement and triggering capabilities of the B2980A series. The methodology involves sending an electronic trigger signal to a B2980A series electometer and making a current measurement. In this example, the electrometer receives an external trigger signal with specific timing parameters, such as 500 ms measurement delay, while sourcing 1 V across 100 GΩresistor.
