8.1 Measurement mode
The R&S LCX LCR meter two measurement modes:
●
Continuous
The instrument restarts the measurement automatically after a measurement cycle
has been completed.
Using this mode enables you to collect a series of measured values, e.g. to deter-
mine value deviations of the component sample, or to determine tolerance ranges.
●
Triggered
The instrument starts a measurement cycle controlled by a trigger signal.
To initiate a trigger signal manually, you can use the [Trig.] key at the front panel, or
send the remote control command *TRG on page 175.
Alternatively, you can apply an external signal at the Trigger Input connector to trig-
ger the measurement.
The instrument starts one measurement cycle controlled by a manual trigger sig-
nal. To initiate a trigger signal, you can use the [Trig.] key at the front panel, or
send the remote control command *TRG on page 175.
Using the manual trigger mode, you can e.g., measure a sample component at a
series of defined working points, by switching to the working points between the
measurements.
Combined with the logging function, you can record the readings and export them for
subsequent evaluation, see Chapter 8.8.3, "Logging", on page 94.
