Triggering the Oscilloscope 4

6000 Series Oscilloscope User’s Guide 165

2Press the Signals softkey to display the I2C signals menu.

3Connect 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. 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.

4Choose 7-bit or 8-bit address size. Use 8-bit address size to

include the R/W bit as part of the address value, or choose

7-bit address size to exclude the R/W bit from the address

value.

5Connect an oscilloscope channel to the SDA (serial data) line

in the circuit under test, then set the SDA data channel

softkey to that channel.

As you press the SDA softkey (or rotate the Entry knob on

mixed-signal oscilloscopes), the SDA 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. 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.
