Triggering the Oscilloscope

4

The selected trigger source is displayed in the upper-right corner of the display. Turning the Trigger Level knob does not change the trigger level because the trigger level is automatically set to the sync pulse. Trigger coupling is automatically set to TV in the Trigger Mode/Coupling menu.

Provide Correct Matching

Many TV signals are produced from 75 Ω sources. To provide correct matching to these sources, a 75 Ω terminator (such as an Agilent 11094B) should be connected to the oscilloscope input.

3Press the sync polarity softkey to set the TV trigger to either positive ( ) or negative ( ) sync polarity.

4Press the Standard softkey to set the TV standard.

5Press the Mode softkey to select the portion of the video signal that you would like to trigger on.

The TV trigger modes available are:

•Field1 and Field2 — Trigger on the rising edge of the first serration pulse of field 1 or field 2 (interlaced standards only).

•All Fields — Trigger on the rising edge of the first pulse in the vertical sync interval (not available in Generic mode).

•All Lines — Trigger on all horizontal sync pulses.
