Traditional timing samples and stores data at regular intervals. Transitional timing samples data at regular intervals but stores a sample only when there has been a transition on one or more of the channels. This makes it possible for Transitional timing to store more information in the same amount of memory.
Glitch Acquisition Mode. A glitch is defined as any transition that crosses the logic threshold more than once between samples. It can be caused by capacitive coupling between traces, power supply ripple, or a number of other events. The glitch, in turn, can cause major problems in your system.
Your logic analyzer has the capability of triggering on a glitch and capturing all the data that occurred before it. The glitch must have a width of at least 5 ns at threshold in order for the analyzer to detect it.
If you want your timing analyzer to trigger on a glitch in the data, set the Acquisition mode to Glitch. This causes several changes in the analyzer. One change is that a field for glitch detection in each label is added to the Timing Trace Specification menu, as shown:
