Making Measurements
Setting the low-latency external trigger mode
Setting the low-latency external trigger mode
In the low-latency external trigger mode, variations in delay time between the reception of
a trigger and the start of a one-point measurement are decreased for point trigger
measurement by using trigger pulses supplied to the external trigger input terminal. In
addition, using this mode will allow you to decrease the variations in the time required to
be ready for the next measurement trigger after execution of a one-point measurement.
This mode allows you to perform continuous point trigger measurement in sync with
external trigger pulses and accurately set a trigger delay time at each point-trigger point.
NOTE
The time required for measurement at each measurement point varies depending on the
settings of the E5070B/E5071B and the type of measurement. For more information, see
“External trigger delay time and point trigger interval” on page 247.
The low-latency external trigger mode becomes available by turning on the point trigger
function and setting the trigger source to “External.”

Low-latency external trigger mode
Low-latency external trigger
mode
Function
On
Sets the low-latency external trigger mode to ON.
The external trigger delay time becomes valid.
Off
Sets the low-latency external trigger mode to OFF.
NOTE
If the trigger source is not the external trigger, the low-latency external trigger mode does
not work if it is specified to ON.
The setting of the low-latency external trigger mode is valid for all channels.
Procedure to set the low-latency external trigger
1. Setting the low-latency external trigger
If the trigger source is set to “External” and the trigger event to “On” (On Point), set the
low-latency external trigger mode.
Step 1.
Press
.
Step 2.
Press
Low Latency

Softkey
Function
ON
Sets the-low latency external trigger mode to ON.
OFF
Sets the-low latency external trigger mode to OFF.
2. Setting the external trigger delay time
Set the external trigger delay time at each point. The setting resolution is 10
