B. Action	After selecting specific filter mode settings, the instrument is set to trigger
	based on Run/Pause mode or Run/Stop mode.

C.Source The source can be set to Meter 1, Meter 2, filters, curve, external trigger, timed run trigger mode, and a delay. which are explained below:

•Broadband: When selecting Meter 1 or Meter 2 for the triggering source, you then specify a specific value in the “level” field such as 85dB.

•Filters: Octave band filters are selectable as a triggering source such as:

12.5Hz, 16Hz, 20Hz through 20KHz. Note: this is only available if they have purchased the 1/1 or 1/3 features. To select a filter, select a an octave band value (.i.e. 10KHz) in the source field. Then, select a Level value (i.e., 90dB).

•Delay: When selecting Delay with a specified time value, it will trigger the auto-run after the timed-delay surpasses. (This is similar to setting a delay on a camera.) To select “Delay”, select the Source as “Delay” and for Level select a specific time value (the range is from 00:01 seconds to 59:00 minutes).

•Curve: If the curves feature has been purchased, you have the option of selecting one of the 4 captured curves to trigger a run. To select a captured curve, set the Source as “Curve” and then change the “Level” field to one of the following: CAP-1, CAP-2, CAP-3, or CAP-4.

•EXT: External Trigger feature is triggered by the digital input on the curve indicator. To select external trigger, select “EXT” as the source field, and select “LO” for the level field.

•TIMED: When selected as the RUN trigger, it will cause a delay of specified direction between the timed RUN button is pressed and the time the RUN actually starts. When selected as the PAUSE/STOP trigger, it sets a run length. To select under the Source and Pause fields, chose Timed. Next, select a timed value (or duration) in the Level field. (This is formatted as hours:minutes:seconds.)

D. Level	The level field corresponds with your selection from the Source field and is
	explained under “C. Source”.
