Channel steepness trigger for steep positive pulses

The analog input is continuously sampled with the selected

sample rate. If the programmed lower level is crossed by

the channel’s signal from lower to higher values (rising

edge) the pulsewidth counter is started. If the pulsewidth

counter reaches the programmed amount of samples with-

out the signal crossing the higher level, no trigger will be

detected.

If the signal does cross the upper level within the the pro-

grammed pulsewidth time, a triggerevent will be detected.

Channel steepness trigger for steep negative pulses

The analog input is continuously sampled with the selected

sample rate. If the programmed upper level is crossed by

the channel’s signal from higher to lower values (falling

edge) the pulsewidth counter is started. If the pulsewidth

counter reaches the programmed amount of samples with-

out the signal crossing the lower level, no trigger will be de-

tected.

If the signal does cross the lower level within the the pro-

grammed pulsewidth time, a triggerevent will be detected.
