Press to open the Trigger menu.

Figure 5-11. Trigger Menu

Selecting a Trigger Source

Press to enter the MORE TRIGGER window, then

highlight TRIGGER SOURCE and press to open the list box. Select one of the following trigger sources: INPUT A, INPUT B, EXTERN 2V (via external trigger input), EXTERN 0.2V (via external trigger input), or

GENERATOR 92B (via internal waveform generator).

NOTE

You can also find the trigger source selection under the appropriate INPUT A or INPUT B More window.

EXTERN 2V or EXTERN 0.2V are available as trigger source selections. You can connect an external trigger at the red 4-mm banana jack. Make your selection for the appropriate TTL-compatible (Transistor-to- Transistor Logic) trigger level (0.2V or 2V).

GENERATOR 96B . See Chapter 6 for more information.

NOTE

EXTERN and GENERATOR are mutually exclusive; selecting one deactivates the other.

Defining the Trace Start

In the MORE TRIGGER menu, highlight TRACE START

and press to open the list box.

When Wait for trigger is selected, the test tool needs a trigger to display a waveform.

When free run is selected, and if no trigger is detected for 100 ms, the test tool provides its own trigger and the trace still appears on the display. Use this mode for a continuous display of a waveform.

Selecting a Trigger Slope

From the Trigger menu, press to select triggering on either the +SLOPE or -SLOPE of the chosen input.
