Internal
Triggering
Mode
For greatest accuracy and repeatability, FieldMaxII-TOP
must trigger reliably for each laser pulse. Internal trig-
gering refers to extracting an artificial trigger from the
incoming signal.
To successfully extract an internally-generated trigger,
set the meter range so that the incoming signal is at least
5% of the full scale. Set the trigger level at least 2%
above the noise level and at least 2% below the peak
height.
For example, with a peak height of 300 mJ, set the meter
to a range of 3 J. A peak will occur at 10% of full scale,
well above the 5% level. The trigger level should not be
set higher than 8%. If the noise level is 5% of full scale
(approximately 150 mJ), the trigger level should not be
set lower than 7%.
