Once the Data Logger has been triggered, do not change the display to Scope
NOTE
View or Meter View; otherwise Data Logger will stop.
From the front panel:
Select the Trigger button to configure the trigger properties. The
Data Logger uses triggers to synchronize itself with an external event.
The Source dropdown list lets you select a trigger source. The same
trigger source will be used to trigger all of the outputs that have been
configured for data logging. Depending upon the selected trigger
source, you can trigger the Data Logger as follows:
Description:
Triggers the Data Logger when the voltage or current of the corresponding
output passes through the specified level.
Trigger the Data Logger when the Run/Stop key is pressed. This is the default
trigger source.
Trigger the Data Logger when the Arb Run/Stop key is pressed.
Trigger the Data Logger when any of the Output On/Off keys are pressed. Also
applies to the All Outputs On/Off key.
Provide a low-true signal to the BNC trigger input connector. The signal must
have a minimum pulse width of 2 microseconds. Selecting BNC Trigger In also
enables any digital I/O pins configured as Trigger Outputs (see Appendix C).
Send a trigger command over one of the three interfaces (i.e. *TRG).
If a trigger source is grayed out, it is unavailable. For example,
current levels are not available as trigger sources on outputs that
have been grouped (paralleled). Note also that a trace must be turned
on for it to be used as a trigger source.
Level - specifies a trigger level if you selected a Voltage level or
Current level as the trigger source. Along with the level, you must
also specify a Slope - if the measurement will be triggered on the
positive (up-slope) or negative (down-slope) portion of the waveform.
Trigger Position % of Duration - specifies a trigger offset. This allows
the specified percent of pre-trigger data to be logged to the file. The
trigger position is expressed as a percentage of the data log duration.
