2 In the Trigger menu, when “Edge” or “Pulse” is selected for Mode, press
Coupling to select one of these trigger coupling settings:
• DC — sets the trigger coupling to DC.
• LF Reject— sets the trigger coupling to high frequency reject (10 kHz
cutoff).
• HF Reject — sets the trigger coupling to low frequency reject
(100 kHz cutoff).
• AC — sets the trigger coupling to AC — use for waveforms greater
than 50 Hz.
Using the External Trigger Input
You can trigger on external inputs by selecting “EXT” or “EXT/5” (5:1
attenuated) as the trigger source in all trigger modes.
Recording/Playing-back Waveforms
You can record waveforms from input channels or from the mask test
output, with a maximum acquisition depth of 1000 frames.
The ability to record mask test output is especially useful for capturing
abnormal waveforms over a long period of time.
To record waveforms
To record waveforms:
1 Press Acquire
.
2 In the Acquire menu, select Sequence.
3 In the Sequence menu, press Mode to select “Capture”.
