4 Using the Measurement Functions
Trigger Source
Voltage <1-4> level
Current <1-4> level
Arb Run/Stop key
Output On/Off key
BNC Trigger In
Remote Command
If a trigger source is grayed out, it is unavailable. This can happen on power modules that cannot
simultaneously display voltage and current. For these power modules, if one of the traces has been
turned on, you cannot use the other trace as the trigger source. Also, current levels are not available
as trigger sources on outputs that have been grouped (paralleled).
Level lets you specify a trigger level if you selected a Voltage level or Current level as the trigger
source.
Slope specifies if the measurement will be triggered on the positive (up-slope) or negative (down-
slope) portion of the waveform.
Mode dropdown lets you select a trigger mode.

Scope Ranges
For outputs that have multiple measurement ranges, you can select a lower range for better
measurement resolution. Scope range settings are independent of the Meter View and Data Logger
range settings.
In the Scope Ranges area, select the desired lower measurement range from the Voltage or Current
dropdown menus.

Description
Triggers the measurement when the voltage or current of the corresponding output passes
through the specified level.
Triggers the measurement when the Arb Run/Stop key is pressed.
Triggers the measurement when any of the Output On/Off keys are pressed. Also applies to the All
Outputs On/Off key.
Provide a low-true signal to the BNC trigger input connector. Refer to
acteristics
for minimum pulse width. Selecting BNC Trigger In also enables any digital I/O pins
configured as
Trigger
Outputs.
Send a trigger command over one of the three interfaces (i.e. *TRG).
Description
Configures the scope to display a single-sweep measurement when a trigger is received, or auto-
matically if a trigger is not received. The scope continues running and waits for another trigger
when the measurement completes.
Configures the scope to display a single-sweep measurement when a trigger is received. The
scope stops running when the measurement completes.
Configures the scope to display a single-sweep measurement when a trigger is received. The
