Synchronous master trigger mode
Use the synchronous master trigger mode (SynchronousM) to generate falling
edge output triggers, to detect the rising edge input triggers, and to initiate an
action on one or more external nodes with the same trigger line.
In this mode, the output trigger consists of a low pulse. All non-Keithley
instruments attached to the synchronization line in a trigger mode equivalent to
SynchronousA must latch the line low during the pulse duration.
To use the SynchronousM trigger mode, configure the triggering master as
SynchronousM and then configure all other nodes in the test system as
Synchronous, SynchronousA, or to the non-Keithley equivalent.
NOTE Use the SynchronousM trigger mode to receive notification when the
triggered action on all nodes is complete.
