Continuous (not in Random
Repetitive Sampling mode) Internal,
External TTL (Rising or falling Edge),
GPIB or external Bus
Source
Manual
Single power value set to cover entire measurement dynamic range of sensor
Auto
Automatically sets trigger level for signal over measurement dynamic range
Trigger modes
N/A
Variable-auto set and manual
20 MHz, 2 MHz, 200 kHz, 20 kHz
Nominal Internal Trigger
Bandwidth
Sets the trigger arming, unless the trigger
source is set to EXTTTL
When ARMING is set to Blanking ON, only
samples taken when the rear panel Digital
Input BNC is active will be averaged in the
measurement
