3Select the name of each module you want to include in the measurement.
The modules are listed under “Modules” on the right side of the menu. a Select Group Run if you want to arm this module immediately when
the Group Run begins.
b Select the name of another module if you want the other module to arm the present one when the other module finds its trigger.
c Select Independent if this module should not be included in the intermodule measurement.
4Select the Group Run field in the upper right hand corner.
The group run begins. The modules attached directly to the Group Run field immediately begin searching for their respective trigger conditions. When a module finds its trigger, it arms any modules attached to it in the Group Run tree.
