Triggering the Oscilloscope

The Agilent 54620/40-series Oscilloscopes provide a full set of features to help automate your measurement tasks, including MegaZoom technology to help you capture and examine the stored waveforms of interest, even untriggered waveforms. With these oscilloscopes you can:

•modify the way the oscilloscope acquires data.

•set up simple or complex trigger conditions, as needed, to capture only the sequence of events you want to examine.

The oscilloscopes all have common triggering functionality:

•Trigger modes

Auto Normal

Auto Level (54620-series only)

•Coupling (including high frequency and noise rejection)

•Holdoff

•Trigger Level

•External Trigger input

•Trigger types

Edge (slope)

Pulse width (glitch) Pattern

CAN

Duration I2C Sequence

SPI TV USB

•Trigger Out connector

3-2
