Table 1-4 Model Of Sensor And Measurement Rates; Sensor; Trigger Mode - Agilent Technologies N1911A Programming Manual

Sensor

Different measurement rates are achievable depending on the sensor type
being used, as shown in

Table 1-4 Model of Sensor and Measurement Rates

Trigger Mode

The power meter has a very flexible triggering system. For simplicity, it
can be described as having three modes:
• Free Run: When a channel is in Free Run, it continuously takes
• Triggered Free Run: When a channel is in Triggered Free Run

measurements on this channel. A channel is in free run when
INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON and TRIGger:SOURce is set to
IMMediate.
Continuous Trigger, it takes a new measurement each time a trigger
event is detected. A channel is in Triggered Free Run Continuous
Trigger when INITiate:CONTinuous is set to ON and TRIGger:SOURce
is not set to IMMediate.
