Triggering the Oscilloscope

To use I2C triggering

To use I2C triggering

An I2C (Inter-IC bus) trigger setup consists of connecting the oscilloscope to the serial data (SDA) line and the serial clock (SCL) line, then triggering on a stop/start condition, a restart, a missing acknowledge, an EEPROM data read, or on a read/write frame with a specific device address and data value.

1Press the More key in the Trigger section of the front panel, rotate the

Entry knob until I2C is displayed in the Trigger softkey, then press the Settings softkey to display the I2C trigger menu.

2Connect an oscilloscope channel to the SCL (serial clock) line in the circuit under test, then set the SCL clock channel softkey to that channel.

As you press the SCL softkey (or rotate the Entry knob on mixed-signal oscilloscopes), the SCL label for the source channel is automatically set and the

channel you select is shown in the upper-right corner of the display next to "I2C".

Adjust the trigger level for the selected analog channel by turning the Trigger Level knob. For the mixed-signal oscilloscope, select Threshold in the D7 Thru D0 or D15 Thru D8 menu to set the level for digital channels assigned to the clock and data lines. The value of the trigger level or digital threshold is displayed in the upper-right corner of the display.
