4 Triggering the Oscilloscope

•Line — Trigger on the selected line # (EDTV and HDTV standards only).

•Line: Field1 and Line:Field2 — Trigger on the selected line # in field 1 or field 2 (interlaced standards only except 1080i).

•Line: Alternate — Alternately trigger on the selected line # in field 1 and field 2 (NTSC, PAL, PAL-M, and SECAM only).

•Vertical — Trigger on the rising edge of the first serration pulse or approximately 70 ∝s after the start of vertical

sync, whichever occurs first (only available in Generic mode).

•Count: Vertical — Counts falling edges of sync pulses; triggers on the selected count number (only available in Generic mode).

6If you select a line # mode, press the Line # softkey, then rotate the Entry knob to select the line number on which you want to trigger.

7When using the Generic standard and you select a line # mode or Count:Vertical, press the Count # softkey and rotate the Entry knob to select the desired count number.

Listed below are the line (or count) numbers per field for each video standard.
