Triggering on Video Frames

Use FIELD 1 or FIELD 2 to trigger either on the first half of the frame (odd) or on the second half of the frame (even).

To trigger on the second half of the frame, do the following:

7

 

 

Choose FIELD 2.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The signal part of the even field is displayed on the screen.

Triggering on Video Lines

Use ALL LINES to trigger on all line synchronization pulses (horizontal synchronization).

7

 

 

 

Choose ALL LINES.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The signal of one line is displayed on the screen. The screen is updated with the signal of the next line immediately after the test tool triggers on the horizontal synchronization pulse.

To view a specific video line in more detail, you can select the line number. For example, to measure on video line 123, continue from step 6 as follows:

7

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enable video line selection.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

8

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Select number 123.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The signal of line 123 is displayed on the screen. Observe that the status line now also shows the selected line number. The screen is continuously updated with the signal of line 123.
