LINK
[LINK]
There are two trigger conditions saved; one for Profile mode and
one for Readout mode. Normally, Profile mode trigger conditions
can be changed without affecting the trigger conditions used in
Readout mode. With LINK set to ON, the Profile mode trigger con
-
ditions are used for both Profile and Readout modes.
In Profile mode, the user can view what is being measured with the
selected trigger conditions, but only over a limited dynamic range,
as it only uses the two DC ranges of the signal channel. Profile
mode measurement rate is also limited by sweep speed.
