6-26 Keysight B2900 User’s Guide, Edition 5Function DetailsChannel GroupingChannel GroupingThis section applies only to 2-channel models. This function is used to control thechannel output timing automatically so that the channel keeps the output while theother channel performs measurement.The grouped channels start the source output in the order of channel number, thenstart the measurement at the same time, and keep the output until the measurement iscompleted. If delay time and wait time are set, this is adjusted by these values.If the grouping is released, the channels work independently regardless of thecondition of the other channel.To enable the channel grouping, press the Config > Common > Group > ONfunction keys.To disable the channel grouping, press the Config > Common > Group > OFFfunction keys.Conditions for the channels to group:• Trigger source (Trigger value) must be the same.• If the trigger source is set to TIMER, the trigger period (Period value) of thesource output trigger (transient action) must be the same. This is not applicableif the trigger count (Count value) is set to 1.NOTE About Wait TimeIf wait time is set, channels cannot start measurement or source output change untilthe wait time elapses. See “Wait Control dialog box” on page 4-31 for setting thewait time.For the grouped channels, the wait time starts at the timing of the last output change(DC output change or pulse level transition from peak to base) by the last sourceoutput channel.
