Duration Trigger
Identify a trigger condition by looking for the duration of a specified pattern. This
pattern is a logical “AND” combination of the two channels. Each channel can have a
value of high (H), low (L) or don’t care (X). The instrument triggers when the
duration (△T) of this pattern meets the preset time, as shown in the figure below.
