Point-measurement spectrometers generally offer one or two kinds of triggers. The first, which is provided by most devices, is the “line trigger. ” The line trigger is the same type of trigger commonly referenced in imaging industries. In this mode, however, there is no way to synchronize the scanning, acquisition, and transfer of data with an external event. However, trigger pulses. This Technical Note outlines how Gamry Instruments' potentiostats can be used to send a trigger signal to a spectrometer. 5 microseconds. ing solar simulators or laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy. 0 and above (currently HR2000+, Maya2000Pro, USB2000+ and QE65000) provide several methods of acquiring data (see table below).
