Triggering of Measurements
Pressing the Start Single key on the front panel will cause all currently active measurements with trigger
arm set to single to arm and make the measurement.
Pressing Shift, Start Single (Stop) causes all measurements with trigger arm set to single to abort the
measurement.
It is unnecessary for you to arm a measurement if the trigger arm is set to continuous. When in continuous
mode, the measurement is automatically rearmed after completing a measurement.

Trigger Delay Description
Trigger delay controls the delay time between the trigger and the start of sampling. Resolution is 1
nanosecond per measurement and the units are in seconds. A negative value indicates the sampling should
occur prior to the trigger. The default is zero seconds which is preferred for most measurements.
Trigger Qualifier Description
When the trigger qualifier is on, the test set samples the input signal when a trigger is received. It then
determines if the input signal was valid by looking at its power level. If the power level during sampling did
not meet the requirements of a valid signal, the state returns to wait for trigger without processing the
samples. Trigger qualifier is available for GSM/GPRS TX Power and Phase Frequency Error measurements
only.
If a valid signal is present, then it is qualified, and the samples are processed.
