Configuring triggering
The following is a typical example of using trigger configuration to fine-tune
sweeps. For further details on the steps for sweep configuration, see “Front panel
sweep operation,” on page 4-10. When setting trigger model parameters, keep the
following in mind:
• The arm layer controls the entire sweep.
• The trigger layer controls individual sweep steps.
1. Press CONFIG then TRIG to enter the trigger configuration menu.
2. Select ARM-LAYER. Press ENTER, then set your parameters as follows:
a. ARM-IN: Choose the ARM-IN EVENT, set TIMER interval (if using
timer), TLINK line (1-6), and EVENT DETECT BYPASS (ONCE or
NEVER).
b. ARM-OUT: Set the LINE (1-6), and EVENTS (TRIG-LAYER-EXIT ON
or OFF, TL-ENTER ON, or OFF).
3. From the main trigger configuration menu, select TRIGGER-LAYER, then
press ENTER and set your parameters as follows:
a. TRIGGER-IN: Set the TRIGGER-IN SOURCE, TRIGGER LINK line
(1-6), and EVENT DETECT BYPASS (ONCE or NEVER).
b. TRIGGER-OUT: Set the trigger LINE (1-6) and events
(SOURCE ON/OFF, DELAY ON/OFF).
4. Configure and run your sweep as outlined in “Front panel sweep operation,”
on page 4-10. Depending on how you configured the trigger model, you
may have to apply triggers from the appropriate sources to start the sweep
and to cycle through the sweep steps.
