operation, in auto trigger mode.
• Auto triggering takes continuous readings at the fastest rate possible for the
specified measurement configuration (function, range, resolution, and so
forth).
• Auto triggering is a front panel mode similar to immediate triggering from
the remote interface, but also sets the sample count to infinite and
automatically initiates continuous measurements.
• To enable auto triggering, press

page 71.
