Level Triggering
Level triggering is available only on the 34465A/70A with the DIG option. Level triggering allows you to
trigger measurements at some defined point on the input signal, such as when the signal crosses zero
volts or when it reaches the midpoint of its positive or negative peak amplitude. For example, this graphic
shows sampling beginning as the input signal crosses 0V with a positive slope:
About Level Trigger
Level triggering is available for these measurement functions:
DC voltage and DC current

AC voltage and AC current
l
2-wire and 4-wire resistance with offset compensation off, and low power off
l
Temperature, RTD or thermistor sensors only

Frequency and period

The level trigger is edge-sensitive. That is, the instrument must detect a change in the quantity being
measured from one side of the level setting to the other side (direction controlled by Slope setting). For
example, if the Slope is positive, then the quantity being measured must first reach a value below the set
level before a trigger event can be detected.
Level trigger performance is not uniform. Its accuracy, latency, and sensitivity are dependent on other
DMM features. These dependencies vary by measurement function as described below.
DC voltage, DC current, and 2-wire resistance considerations
These measurement functions can use a fast-response detector built into the hardware for fixed-range
measurements. For lowest latency and highest sensitivity, use a fixed range when using level trigger.
However, trigger level accuracy is reduced when the hardware detector is used.
To increase trigger level accuracy and reduce sensitivity (avoid false triggers due to noise), use autor-
