Triggering the Multimeter
The U3606B triggering system allows you to generate triggers
either automatically or manually via the [Trig] key on the
front panel or the *TRG command via the remote interface.
From the front panel (local interface), the multimeter always
auto- triggers by default. Auto triggering takes continuous
readings at the fastest rate possible for the selected
measurement configuration.
You can enable the single trigger function to manually
trigger the U3606B readings (see page 76).
From the remote interface, triggering the U3606B is a
three- step process:
1 Configure the U3606B for measurement by selecting the
function, range, resolution, and so on.
2 Specify the U3606B trigger source. The U3606B will
accept a software (bus) command or an immediate
(continuous) trigger.
3 Ensure that the U3606B is ready to accept a trigger from
the specified source (called the “wait- for- trigger” state).
See page 77 for more information on the software (bus) or
immediate triggering source.
