Trigger Out
Any of the Digital Control pins can be programmed to function as a
trigger output. All pins are referenced to the Signal Common pin.
When configured as a trigger output, the designated trigger pin will
generate a 10-microsecond trigger pulse in response to a trigger
event. The polarity setting can be either positive-going (rising edge)
or negative-going (falling edge) when referenced to common.
Trigger out signals can be generated when configuring user-defined
voltage or current arbitrary waveforms. If you check the Trigger box,
an output trigger signal will be generated on the configured digital
pin as well as on the BNC trigger output connector at the start of the
voltage or current step.
Output Couple Controls
This function lets you connect multiple Agilent N6705A mainframes
together and synchronize the output on/off sequence across
mainframes.
NOTE
Only pins 4 through 7 can be configured as synchronization pins. You cannot
configure more than one On Couple and one Off Couple pin per mainframe.
The polarity of the pins is not programmable.
Refer to Appendix D for a complete description of the output on/off
synchronization function as well as an illustration showing the On
Couple and Off Couple pin connections.
