Triggering the Oscilloscope

4

Adjust the trigger level for the selected analog channel by turning the Trigger Level knob. Press the D15 Thru D0 key and select Thresholds to set the threshold level for digital channels. The value of the trigger level or digital threshold is displayed in the upper-right corner of the display.

3For each channel you select, press the logic level softkey to set the condition for that channel in the pattern.

•H sets the pattern to high on the selected channel. A high is a voltage level that is greater than the channel's trigger level or threshold level.

•L sets the pattern to low on the selected channel. A low is a voltage level that is less than the channel's trigger level or threshold level.

•X sets the pattern to don't care on the selected channel. Any channel set to don't care is ignored and is not used as part of the pattern. If all channels in the pattern are set to don't care, the oscilloscope will not trigger.

4Press the Qualifier softkey to set the time duration qualifier for the pattern.

The time qualifier can set the oscilloscope to trigger on a channel pattern whose time duration is:

•less than a time value (<)

•greater than a time value (>)

•greater than a time value, but with timeout (Timeout). A trigger will be forced at the timeout value, rather than occurring when the pattern is exited.

•within a range of time values (><)

•outside a range of time values (<>)

The time values for the selected qualifier are set using the qualifier time set softkeys (< and >) and the Entry knob.

5Select a qualifier time set softkey (< or >), then rotate the Entry knob to set the duration qualifier time.
