The Model 7001 has BNC connectors on the rear panel
(see Figure 4-13) associated with external triggering.
The EXTERNAL TRIGGER input jack allows the Mod-
el 7001 to be triggered by other instruments and the
CHANNEL READY output jack allows the Model 7001
to trigger other instruments.

In general, external triggers can be used as events to
control scan operation. In order for the Model 7001 to
respond to external triggers, the appropriate layers of
scan operation must be configured for it. Paragraph 4.8
explains how to program the three layers of the scan.
