Trigger
External 2
Pressing this key, when it is not selected, selects an external input signal as the trigger. A new
sweep/measurement will start when the external trigger condition is met using the external 2 input
connector. The external trigger 2 input connector is on the rear panel.
Pressing this key, when it is already selected, accesses the external 2 trigger setup menu.
Trigger Level
Sets the value where the external 2 trigger input will trigger a new sweep/measurement.
Dependencies: No effect except in zero-span, but not locked out in nonzero spans.
Blanked in modes that do not support zero-span measurements. If the SCPI
command is sent when the key is blanked, an error is returned: –221,
“Settings conflict; Feature not supported for this measurement”
In analyzers shipping N9060A, this feature requires N9060A–7FP.
Preset: OFF
State Saved: Saved in instrument state
Initial S/W Revision: A.11.00
Key Path:
Trigger
Example: TRIG:SOUR EXT2 Swept SA measurement
TRIG:<meas>:SOUR EXT2 Measurements other than Swept SA
Dependencies: In some models, there is no second External input. In these models, the
External 2 key is blanked and the EXTernal2 parameter will generate a
“Hardware missing; Not available for this model number” message.
Grayed out if in use by Point Trigger in the Source Setup menu.
Forced to Free Run if already selected and Point Trigger is set to External 2.
State Saved: Saved in instrument state
Status Bits/OPC dependencies: The Status Operation Register bit 5 "Waiting for Trigger" is set at the same
time as the Sweeping or Measuring bit is set. It is cleared when the trigger
actually occurs (that is, after the trigger event occurs and all the applicable
trigger criteria have been met). A corresponding pop-up message ("Waiting
for trigger") is generated if no trigger signal appears after approximately 2 sec.
This message goes away when a trigger signal appears.
