Triggered Recording

To examine offline events that occur in a stream, recordings can be made whose start is triggered by the event itself, manually, or by an alarm. The recording is held in RAM and can be downloaded from the MTM400 to the client PC for storage and further analysis. The file is stored as a valid MPEG file; however extra information is endcoded in the file to allow Tektronix MPEG analysis products to reconstruct the real-time timing artifacts present at the time of recording.

The Triggered Recording setup is accessed by the Recording… button on the

Stream button bar. The Triggered Recording dialog box contains two panels:

Settings and Operation.
