Trigger Type Trigger Conditions
Edge Trigger on a rising or falling edge, as defined by the slope control. Coupling
choices are DC, AC, LF Reject, HF Reject, Noise Reject, and RF.
Glitch Trigger on a pulse narrower (or wider) than the specified width or ignore
glitches narrower (or wider) than the specified width.
Width Trigger on pulses that are inside or outside a specified time range. Can
trigger on positive or negative pulses.
Runt Trigger on a pulse amplitude that crosses one threshold but fails to cross a
second threshold before recrossing the first. Can detect positive or negative
runts, or only those wider than a specified width. These pulses can also be
qualified by the logical state of other channels. On multi-instrument
configurations, this trigger is available on mapped channels.
Window Trigger when the input signal rises above an upper threshold level or falls
below a lower threshold level. Trigger the instrument as the signal is
entering or leaving the threshold window. Qualify the trigger event in terms
of time by using the Trigger When Wider option, or by the logical state of
other channels using the Trigger When Logic option. On multi-instrument
configurations, this trigger is available on mapped channels.
Timeout Trigger when no pulse is detected within a specified time. On multi-
instrument configurations, this trigger is available on mapped channels.
Transition Trigger on pulse edges that traverse between two thresholds at faster or
slower rates than the specified time. The pulse edges can be positive or
negative. On multi-instrument configurations, this trigger is available on
mapped channels.
Pattern Trigger when logic inputs cause the selected function to become True or
False. You can also specify that the logic conditions must be satisfied for a
specific amount of time before triggering. On multi-instrument configurations,
this trigger is not available.
State Trigger when all of the logic inputs to the selected logic function cause the
function to be True or False when the clock input changes state. On multi-
instrument configurations, this trigger is not available.
Setup/ Hold Trigger when a logic input changes state inside the setup and hold times
relative to the clock. The mode triggers on a setup and hold violation. On
multi-instrument configurations, this trigger is not available.
Serial
Trigger on up to 160 bit 8b/10b symbols at data rates up to 14.1Gb/s.
Requires option ST14G. Includes clock recovery. Push the Push to Set 50%
control to reinitialize clock recovery.
Bus Trigger on components (such as a specified address) of a bus that you
define. With some instruments, instrument configurations, and options,
trigger types include parallel, 8b10b, SPI, RS-232, USB, and I
2
C triggers.
Freq/Per Trigger on a specified time or frequency range. On multi-instrument
configurations, this trigger is available on mapped channels.
