Page 12: Monitor The Entire Output Signal On Its Gui
Oscilloscope waveforms 1-3. Monitor the entire output signal on its GUI The default settings of the B2961A/62A make it monitor only the first waveform even if multiple waveforms are configured on the instrument. However, you can modify the Trigger Parameters to monitor the B2961A/62A‘s entire output and eliminate the need for an oscilloscope. - Page 13 13 | Keysight | Sourcing Precise Current/Voltage Sinusoidal Waveforms Using the B2961A/62A – Demo Guide 3) Press to edit the Trigger type, and then select to set the Trigger type to TIMER; this will make a time domain measurement. 4) Rotate to select the Trigger Parameters for Channel 1 and configure them as shown below.
