Triggering The RSA6100A Series Real Time Spectrum Analyzer offers real time frequency domain triggering option 02 in addition to power level triggers line trigger and external triggers It uses a trigger event as a reference point in time for the seamless acquisition of the signal This allows the spectrum analyzer to store both pretrigger and post trigger information The spectrum analyzer has two triggering modes Free Run mode In Free run mode the instrument initiates acquisitions without considering any trigger conditions It is a fast and easy way to see the signals Free Run is usually adequate for the Spectrum display unless you need to specify a particular time at which to collect the data record Triggered mode In Triggered mode the instrument initiates an acquisition when a trigger event is recognized The conditions that define a trigger event depend on the selected trigger source There are several source selections available for choosing the signal to monitor for a trigger event Once you select the Triggered mode you must select the source The trigger sources are m RF Input Trig In Trig 2 In Gated m Line Once you select the trigger source you can set additional parameters to specify the trigger event If you specify the RF Input as the trigger source you can chose from two trigger types DPX Density Triggering This trigger type enables the instrument to capture any signal you can see in the DPX display
