Triggering on Pulses

Triggering on Pulses

Use pulse width triggering to isolate and display specific pulses that you can qualify by time, such as glitches, missing pulses, bursts or signal dropouts.

Detecting Narrow Pulses

To set the test tool to trigger on narrow positive pulses shorter than 5 ms, do the following:

1Apply a video signal to the red input A.
