Step 3: Configure the Measurement Execution Parameters

Configuring Measurement Triggering Parameters

Trigger Source Parameter
The Trigger Source parameter selects the source of the measurement trigger signal.
Example 7. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:TRIGger:SOURce <AUTO|IMMediate|PROTocol|RISE>
Example 8. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:TXP:TRIG:SOUR AUTO"
would set the trigger source to AUTO for the transmit power measurement.
Trigger Delay Parameter
The Trigger Delay parameter controls the delay between the trigger event (the point in time at which the
trigger signal is received) and the start of sampling. Negative values indicate that the sampling should occur
prior to the trigger event.
Example 9. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:TRIGger:DELay <numeric value>[<suffix>]
Example 10. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:TXP:TRIG:DEL 10 US"
would set the trigger delay to 10 µs for the transmit power measurement.
Trigger Qualifier Parameter
The Trigger Qualifier parameter enables or disables automatic trigger re-arming following a trigger event
which occurred when no valid signal (burst) was present.
Example 11. Command Syntax:
SETup:<meas-mnemonic>:TRIGger:QUALifier <ON|1|OFF|0>
Example 12. Programming Example:
OUTPUT Test_set;"SET:TXP:TRIG:QUAL ON"
would turn the trigger qualifier on for the transmit power measurement.
