Agilent Technologies 66lxxA manual Generating the Desired Voltage Ramp for Application #3

Page 79

3.The module could be set to generate an external trigger when it has finished its transition. This trigger could be routed to other instruments as a signal to start making measurements.

4.Multiple modules could be programmed to slew together in response to the computer trigger command.

5.The module could be set to generate an external trigger for each point in the transition. This trigger could be routed to other instruments as a signal to take a measurement at various supply voltages. (see application #7)

6.Many voltage versus time characteristics can be generated by varying the voltage values and the dwell times in the List.
