Triggering the Oscilloscope

4

To select trigger Coupling

1Press the Mode/Coupling key.

2Press the Coupling softkey, then select DC, AC, or LF Reject coupling.

•DC coupling allows DC and AC signals into the trigger path.

•AC coupling places a 10 Hz (3.5 Hz in 100 MHz bandwidth models) high-pass filter in the trigger path removing any DC offset voltage from the trigger waveform. The high-pass filter in the External Trigger input path is 3.5 Hz for all models. Use AC coupling to get a stable edge trigger when your waveform has a large DC offset.

•LF (low frequency) Reject coupling places a 50 kHz high-pass filter in series with the trigger waveform. Low frequency reject removes any unwanted low frequency components from a trigger waveform, such as power line frequencies, that can interfere with proper triggering. Use this coupling to get a stable edge trigger when your waveform has low frequency noise.

•TV coupling is normally grayed-out, but is automatically selected when TV trigger is enabled in the Trigger More menu.

Note that Trigger Coupling is independent of Channel Coupling. To change Channel Coupling see page 85.

To select trigger Noise Rejection and HF rejection

1Press the Mode/Coupling key.

2Press the Noise Rej softkey to select noise reject or press the HF Reject softkey to select high frequency reject.

•Noise Rej adds additional hysteresis to the trigger circuitry. When noise reject is on, the trigger circuitry is less sensitive to noise but may require a greater amplitude waveform to trigger the oscilloscope.
