Measurement Operations & Settings Triggering - The TRIGger Subsystem
182 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition
Extended Trigger Configuration Example
The short example below demonstrates how to use extended triggering
configuration to make tunable laser source modules sweep
simultaneously. Setup your mainframe with two Agilent 81689A modules
in slots 1 and 2. The example below presumes you set up identical stepped
sweeps for both modules, for example, by pressing PRESET.
