Hello,
I am doing a segment sweep over a list of frequencies (using the E8362B PNA), with the following trigger settings:
-Trigger source: external
-Trigger scope: Channel
-Trigger mode: point
-Trigger state: continuous
-Source: I/O (TRIG IN)BNC
-Level/Edge: Positive
And with the following frequency offset settings:
-Source: coupled, segment sweep
-Receivers: uncoupled CW time,
-My Source coupled, segment sweep.
When I have 2 traces (A/R1, B/R1) on 1 channel, the traces are swep sequentially,and in one direction. Everything seems all right- but when I put a trace on each channel (A/R1 on channel 1, B/R1 on channel 2), only the trace on channel 1 is swept. Both channels have the same settings, but Channel 2 doesn't seem to be receiving any trigger signal???
Thank you!!

Unforunately, I'll be using a pre-existing program that assumes there is one trace on one channel, and another trace on a different channel.
I wonder if changing the Trigger Scope to Global would make the trigger signal be sent to each channel in turn, but I'm still unsure.
Is the pre-existing program for the PNA? If so, I don't think the trigger model has changed. If not, how are you using it to control the PNA?
If it is something like an 8510 or 8720, then it was possible to couple the channels so that they were effectively 2 traces on one channel. You can use CxL to mimic that behavior (code translater), if need be.
It's to acquire and process data from the PNA as well as control it, but as I'm now using an external trigger instead of an internal, I believe the trigger model would be different??
Could you tell me more about coupling the channels (so as to have the same settings, but measure different parameters)?
Thanks for your help.
