1586A Users Manual • For the Alarm trigger type: The scan sweep is triggered by an alarm that has tripped. To do this, select the Alarm trigger type in the test setup and assign a channel to be a trigger. When the scan is started, the Product automatically starts to monitor the channel set as the trigger for a tripped alarm. Once an alarm is tripped, the scan sweep starts and runs as directed by the test setup. Scan sweeps will continue as long as the alarm is tripped. If the alarm is no longer tripped, the Product will finish the scan in progress then wait for next alarm trip. a. Configure the applicable channel alarm as previously described. b. Push then push to start the scan. • For the Manual trigger type: Push to start the scan. The scan performs one scan cycle then stops. Push again to trigger another scan cycle. At any time, push again to stop the test or push to pause the test. If automatic recording is set to OFF, push to record data. • For the Automated Test trigger type: Push then push to start the test. The Product reads the setpoint information and automatically starts a scan sweep when the setpoint parameters (Setpoint, Tolerance, Stability, and Soaktime) are met. If the Control Source parameter is set to On and the Product is connected to an external temperature source, the Product sets the temperature without the need for the user to do so. The scan repeats for the amount of times set in the Scan Count setting at each setpoint. View Scan Data and Statistics The Scan Data feature lets the user see the scan data from the last scan sweep (see Figure 4-4). This feature is located in the Scan menu (push then push ). The data on this menu updates in real-time. From the Scan Data menu, the user can open a Statistics menu to view minimum, maximum, average, and standard deviation statistics for each channel (see Table 4-3). If Mx+B is applied to the channel, an [Mx+B] icon will show next to the channel number. If an alarm is tripped, the alarm number will show next to the channel as a red icon and also the measurement value will be red.
