“Waiting for Trigger”

“Waiting for Trigger”

If a trigger pattern is specified, this message indicates that the specified trigger pattern has not occurred. Verify that the triggering pattern is correctly set.

When analyzing microprocessors that fetch only from long-word aligned addresses, if the trigger condition is set to look for an opcode fetch at an address not corresponding to a long-word boundary, the trigger will never be found.

If a “don’t care” trigger condition is set, this message indicates:

For an HP 16511B Logic Analyzer, only one of the two cards is receiving its state clock. Refer to “Slow or Missing Clock.”

For an HP 16510A/B Logic Analyzer, the pattern duration is probably set to less than (<) instead of greater than (>). Since a “don’t care” pattern is always true, the “less than” condition is never satisfied. Set the trigger correctly for the measurement that is desired.
