Output trigger specifications
The SourceMeter can be programmed to output a trigger after various trigger model
actions. (See “Trigger models,” page 11-30.) The output trigger provides a TTL-
compatible output pulse that can be used to trigger other instruments. The specifications
for this trigger pulse are shown in Figure 11-7. A trigger link line can source 1mA and sink
up to 50mA.
