4 Triggering the Oscilloscope

Rx X:Data: For use when the target system data words are 9 bits in length including the alert bit (the 9th bit). Triggers on a data byte that you specify regardless of the value of the 9th (alert) bit. The specified data byte applies to the least significant 8 bits (excludes the 9th (alert) bit).

Similar choices are available for Tx.

Rx or Tx Parity Error: Triggers on a parity error based on the parity you have set in the Bus Configuration Menu.

11If you choose a trigger condition that includes “Data” in its description (for example: Rx Data) then press the Data is softkey and choose an equality qualifier. You can choose equal to, not equal to, less than, or greater than a specific data value.

12Use the Data softkey to choose the data value for your trigger comparison. This works in conjunction with the Data is softkey.

13Optional: The Burst softkey lets you trigger on the Nth frame (1-4096) after an idle time you select. All trigger conditions must be met for the trigger to occur.

14If Burst is selected, an idle time (10 ∝s to 10 s) can be specified so that the oscilloscope will look for a trigger condition only after the idle time has past. Press the Idle softkey and rotate the Entry knob to set an idle time.
