Triggering the Oscilloscope with the Timing Analyzer

Capture the Glitch with the Timing Analyzer and Oscilloscope

Capture the Glitch with the Timing Analyzer and

Oscilloscope

The timing analyzer runs, triggers, and then arms the oscilloscope. Notice the slight delay between the glitch displayed by the timing analyzer and the oscilloscope. This is caused by the intermodule bus when one instrument arms another. In the following exercise, you will align the glitch in the two displays.

1Highlight the Group Run field, and press the Select key. Highlight Single in the pop-up menu, and press the Select key.

2Highlight the s/Div field, then rotate the knob to change the s/Div to 20 ns.

You will now see the glitch on both the oscilloscope waveform, and on TCOUNT 7 in the timing analyzer section of the display.
