How to trigger on a signal
Use this procedure to open the Trigger menu to select and configure the trigger event type and conditions.
1. Double-tap the Trigger badge on the Settings bar to open the Trigger configuration menu.
2. Select a trigger from the Trigger Type list. The trigger type sets what fields are available in the menu and also updates the
illustration to show a graphic of the trigger type.
NOTE. To trigger on a bus, you must first add the bus to the Waveform view. See Add a math, reference, or bus waveform
on page 38
NOTE. Triggering on buses other than Parallel requires purchasing and installing serial trigger and analysis options. See the
Tektronix Web site for available serial trigger and analysis options.
3. Select the other fields and panels to refine the trigger conditions. The menu fields and trigger graphic update as you make
changes to the trigger settings. Displayed fields depend on the selected trigger type. Selection changes take effect
immediately.
