Tektronix 2465B Operator's Manual

Operation
B-Trigger Operation
Use the B Trigger to eliminate jitter in B-Sweep displays. With the available
Counter/Timer/Trigger (CTT), the B Trigger locks a delay-time or delta-delay-time
measurement to the signal, so any variations are tracked automatically. However,
without the CTT, the B Trigger obscures delay or delta-delay measurements and the
readout includes a question mark.
Distinguishing RUN AFT DL Y and TRIG AFT DL Y
With RUN AFT DLY mode, the A REF OR DLY POS and ^ controls adjust
the delay-time or delta-delay-time. The intensified zones on the A-Sweep trace
move continuously as the controls are adjusted. If the B-Trigger mode is TRIG
AFT DLY and a signal triggers the B Sweep, the delay times and intensified
zones jump to successive B-Trigger points as delay time is adjusted. With TRIG
AFT DLY, the actual delay time is controlled by the signal, as enabled by the
A Sweep and the A REF and A settings.
Setting the B Trigger
1. When the B SWP indicator is on, press A/B TRIG to illuminate a
B-Trigger Mode indicator. (If B-Trigger mode is not RUN AFT DLY, a
B-Trigger Mode indicator will be on when the B SWP indicator is on.)
2. Select TRIG AFT DLY Mode.
3. Set SOURCE, COUPLING, SLOPE, INIT@50%, and LEVEL controls
as required.
Changing the A Trigger while B Trigger is Active
1. Press and hold A/B TRIG while adjusting SOURCE, COUPLING,
SLOPE, INIT@50%, and LEVEL controls for the A Trigger.
2. Alternatively, choose RUN AFT DLY B-Trigger mode and momentarily
press A/B TRIG, then adjust A Trigger. With RUN AFT DLY B-Trigger
mode or SGL SEQ A-Trigger mode (or an active CTT function that uses
the B Trigger), the trigger controls alternate between A Trigger and
B Trigger each time A/B TRIG is momentarily pressed.
