Triggering the Oscilloscope with the Timing Analyzer

You can use the oscilloscope and the timing analyzers together so that the data and trigger points can be time-correlated. To perform these exercises, you need an analyzer with an oscilloscope.

These exercises show you how to make the timing analyzer trigger the oscilloscope inside the analyzer to find a glitch on the training board.

To do these exercises you need an HP 1660CS, HP 1661CS,

HP 1662CS, or an HP 1663CS analyzer. The CS models have the built in oscilloscope.

In this chapter, you will:

•Set the jumpers

•Connect the oscilloscope probe

•Get the waveform on the display

•Change the oscilloscope trigger

•Turn on the timing analyzer

•Set up the timing format menu

•Define the timing trigger term

•Set up the timing trigger specification

•Arm the oscilloscope with the timing analyzer

•Add oscilloscope waveform to the timing waveforms

•Capture the glitch with the timing analyzer and oscilloscope

•Align the glitch displayed by the oscilloscope and analyzer
