Triggering
Applies only to bursts and frequency sweep. You can issue triggers for
bursts and sweeps using internal triggering, single triggering, or
external triggering.
Internal or “automatic” triggering is enabled when you turn on the
function generator. In this mode, the function generator outputs
continuously when the burst mode or sweep mode is selected.
Single triggering outputs one burst or initiates one sweep each time
you press
Single from the front-panel. Continue pressing this key to
re-trigger the function generator.
Pressing Single to enable the single trigger mode also enables the
external trigger mode. External triggering is like the front-panel
single trigger mode except that you apply a trigger signal to the
rear-panel Ext Trig terminal. The function generator is triggered on
the rising edge of a
TTL pulse.
The Single key is disabled when in remote (the Rmt annunciator
turns on when in remote) and when a function other than burst or
sweep is selected.
