8.5.2.1 Trigger states
The power sensor has trigger states to define the exact start and stop time of a mea-
surement and the sequence of a measurement cycle. The following states are defined:
●
●
●
8.5.2.2 Waiting for a trigger event
Before a trigger can be executed, the power sensor has to be set to the waiting for trig-
ger state. Depending on the required number of measurement cycles, you use one of
the following commands:
●
●
8.5.2.3 Trigger sources
The possible trigger conditions and the execution of a trigger depend on the selected
trigger mode and trigger source.
If the signal power exceeds or falls below a reference level set by the trigger level, the
measurement is started after the defined delay time. Waiting for a trigger event can be
skipped.
Trigger source Description
"Hold" Triggered by the remote command.
"Immediate" Measures immediately, does not wait for trigger
condition.

Chapter 8.5.5, "Configuring the
Idle
The power sensor performs no measurement. After powered on, the power sensor
is in the idle state.
Waiting for trigger
The power sensor waits for a trigger event that is defined by the trigger source.
When the trigger event occurs, the power sensor enters the measuring state.
Measuring
The power sensor is measuring data. It remains in this state during the measure-
ment. When the measurement is completed, it exits this state immediately.
INITiate:CONTinuous
A new measurement cycle is started automatically after the previous one has been
terminated.
INITiate[:IMMediate]
The number of measurement cycles is restricted.
If 1 is set, the command starts a single measurement cycle that
TRIGger:COUNt
renders one result. Every time you send this command, a new measurement cycle
is started.
Otherwise, as many measurement cycles are performed as determined by the trig-
ger count.
