Setting Up Triggers and Running Measurements

(label events), and the action is to trigger the logic analyzer. However, events can also test timer, counter, and/or flag values that are set up in the logic analyzer, and actions can include setting up timers, counters, and flags as well as specifying special store actions.

To specify a duration or occurrence count for events

When working with advanced trigger functions or when you break down other trigger functions, you can specify that an event be present for a certain amount of time, or occur in a certain number of samples, before the associated action is taken.

To specify a time duration for events (timing only)

1.In the Trigger tab's Trigger Sequence area, if the present for > button is not present, select the occurs button and choose present for >.

2.Enter a time duration value.

The event must be present for the specified period of time before the action is taken.

To specify a < duration, break down the Find pattern present for < duration trigger function. (It actually uses occurrence counts and four sequence levels.)

To specify an occurrence count for events (timing, 200, 400 Mb/s only)

1.In the Trigger tab's Trigger Sequence area, if the occurs button is not present, select the present for > button and choose occurs.
