##### Trigger Settings

Trigger Settings opens a dialog to specify the operation that the analyzer carries out after receiving a trigger event.

The dialog is divided into the following panels:

- Triggered Meas. Sequence
  selects the measurement cycle or sequence of actions to be triggered.

- Trigger Delay
  specifies a delay time between the trigger event and the start of the measurement.

The Trigger Settings are valid for all trigger modes except Free Run
. Some trigger settings are incompatible with other measurement settings; see below.

###### Triggered Meas. Sequence

Selects the measurement cycle or sequence of actions to be triggered.

- Sweep means that each trigger event starts an entire sweep
  , according to the current sweep configuration.

- Sweep Segment means that each trigger event starts the next sweep segment
  within the current sweep. If a sweep type other than Segmented Sweep
  is active, this option is equivalent to Sweep.

- Point means that each trigger event starts the measurement at the next sweep point
  .

- Partial Measurement means that each trigger event starts the next partial measurement
  at the current or at the next sweep point. If each measurement points requires only one partial measurement , this option is equivalent to Point.

Relation to other sweep settings

Some sweep settings are logically incompatible with a particular selection of the Triggered Meas. Sequence:

- If a Timesweep is performed, the Triggered Meas. Sequence is always a sweep.

- Alternatesweep mode only makes sense if the triggered measurement sequence comprises more than one sweep point. If Point or Partial Measurement is selected, Alternate sweep mode is switched off and vice versa.

The period of the trigger events should be adjusted to the triggered measurement sequence. If the analyzer receives a trigger event while the last sequence is still running, the trigger event is skipped and a message Trigger event missed is displayed.

###### Trigger Delay

Specifies a delay time between the trigger event and the start of the measurement.

The Delay time entered must be zero or positive, indicating that the trigger event precedes the start of the measurement (Posttrigger).
