Triggering The Analyzer From Remote - Agilent Technologies 4396B Gpib Programming Manual

Triggering the Analyzer from Remote

This chapter describes how to control the trigger system of the analyzer.
To trigger a measurement from a controller, the following steps are commonly used:
1. Set the trigger source to:
Bus, or Internal (free run)
(In External, Video, Manual or Gate trigger, you cannot trigger from the controller, so these
sources are not mentioned in this guide.)
2. Set the number of measurements and the analyzer is initiated. You can set the number of
measurements as:
(Hold)|Single|Number of Group|Continuous
3. Generate the trigger event and the analyzer starts a measurement.
The analyzer trigger system has three states: Idle, Waiting for Trigger, and Measurement.
