Trigger Mode and Measurement Speed
There are two generalized scenarios which can be described for HP-IB
triggering control. The first is to have the Test Set return measurement
results as fast as possible and assume that the control program will
handle all transient settling and value tolerance activities. The second
scenario is to have the Test Set return the most reliable, accurate, fully
settled measurement results that it can, even if it takes some time to do
this.
Trigger Mode Settings for Fastest Measurements
Use the following Test Set configuration and trigger mode settings for
the fastest possible measurement speed. See “Increasing Measurement
Throughput” on page 114 for more information on improving
measurement throughput.
1. Range hold all autoranging functions and set ranges through HP-IB.
This avoids autoranging delays.
2. Use REPetitive RETRiggering. This avoids Trigger Event processing
delays.
3. Use FAST SETTling. This avoids the signal transient settling
delays.

4. Turn off all measurements that are not required. This avoids any
delays caused by contention for measurement resources within the
Test Set.
1. Using FAST settling increases the possibility that transient signal conditions
which occur during the measurement cycle will be included in the measurement
result.
