Triggering the Oscilloscope 4
6000 Series Oscilloscope User’s Guide 175
To use Sequence triggering
Sequence trigger lets you trigger the oscilloscope after finding a
sequence of events. Defining a sequence trigger requires three
steps:
1Define an event to find before you search for the trigger.
The “find” event can be a pattern, an edge from a single
channel, or the combination of a pattern and a channel edge.
2Define the trigger event.
The “trigger on” event can be a pattern, an edge from a single
channel, the combination of a pattern and a channel edge, or
the nth occurrence of an edge from a single channel.
3Set an optional reset event.
If you choose to define a “reset” event, the event can be a
pattern, an edge from a single channel, the combination of a
pattern and a channel edge, or a timeout value.
