Triggering the Oscilloscope

4

5If you select a pattern term, each channel in the pattern must be set to a H (high), L (low), or X (don't care).

a Press the Channel softkey (or rotate the Entry knob on mixed-signal oscilloscopes) to select the channel.

b Press the L H X softkey to set a level for the channel. c Repeat for all channels in the pattern.

6If you select an edge term, one channel must be set to a rising edge or a falling edge. All other channel edges will be set to don’t care (X).

a Press the Channel softkey (or rotate the Entry knob on mixed-signal oscilloscopes) to select the channel.

b Then press the X softkey to select rising edge or falling edge. All other channel edges will be defaulted to don’t care.

7If you select the Timeout term, you will need to set a timeout value.

a Press the Term softkey and select Timeout.

b Press the Timeout softkey, then turn the Entry knob to set the timeout value.

Timeout can be set from 10 ns to 10 seconds. The timer starts when the Find condition has been met. If the timer is running and another Find condition occurs, the timer will restart from time zero.

Adjust the trigger level

•For analog channels, adjust the trigger level for the selected analog channel by turning the Trigger Level knob.

•To set the threshold level for digital channels, press the D15 Thru D0 key and select Thresholds.

The value of the trigger level or digital threshold is displayed in the upper-right corner of the display.
