Table A- 3: System - Trigger
Description Characteristics
Trigger sources External Direct Edge Trigger, External Prescaled Trigger, Internal Clock
Trigger, and Clock Recovery (with appropriately equipped optical
modules)
Auto/normal mode Normal mode: wait for trigger
Auto mode: Trigger automatically generated after 100 ms time-out
Slope + or -- select Edge + mode: Triggers on positive-slewing edge
Edge -- mode: Triggers on negative-slewing edge
High frequency on/off
select
High Frequency ON mode: Removes trigger hysteresis and improves
sensitivity. Should be used when trigger slew rate exceeds 1 V/ns.
High Frequency OFF mode: Retains trigger hysteresis and improves
noise rejection at low slew rates.
Metastability Reject
On/Off select
Metastability Reject On mode: Upon detection of trigger and holdoff
collision, time base will reject the sampled point.
Metastability Reject Off mode: Allows metastable points caused by
trigger/holdoff collisions to display.
Gated Trigger ±5 V maximum. See the Gated Trigger Input descriptions, on beginning
page A--8.
Variable trigger hold
off range and resolu-
tion
Adjustable 5 s to 50 ms in 0.5 ns increments. When External
Prescaled Trigger mode is used, holdoff period applies to the Prescaled
input divided by 8.
