General Timing Trigger Functions

When the timing sampling mode is selected, the following General

Timing trigger functions are found in the Trigger Functions tab.

You can edit most of these trigger functions to specify particular pattern and edge events or boolean combinations of events.

You can use the following types of events in these trigger functions: patterns, ranges, flags, counters, timers, and Wait for arm in (see “To cross-trigger with another instrument” on page 112).

You can use the following actions in these trigger functions: counters, timers, store control (in the 400 MHz / 32M Sample Transitional or Store Qualified configuration when Transitions are not being stored), goto (for arbitrary sequencing), and trigger.

You can expand these trigger functions to see how they are constructed with the underlying advanced trigger functions.

You can break down these trigger functions to directly edit the underlying advanced trigger functions. Sometimes you need to break down a trigger function in order to add other event types such as counters, timers, flags, and arming from other instruments.

Find pattern

Becomes true when a pattern occurs one time.

Find edge

Becomes true when the specified edge occurs in one sample.

Find edge AND pattern

Becomes true when the specified pattern and the specified edge occurs in one sample.

Find width violation on a pattern/pulse

Becomes true when the width of a pattern violates minimum and
