3 Advanced Triggering, Search & Navigation, and Segmented Acquisition Labs
Lab #12: Triggering on Setup & Hold Time Violations
In this lab we will set up the scope to trigger on a Setup & Hold time
violation. We will also use the scope’s Segmented Memory acquisition to
capture multiple and consecutive occurrences of Setup & Hold time
violations.
1 Connect the channel-1 probe to the Demo 1 terminal and ground.
2 Connect the channel-2 probe to the Demo 2 terminal and ground.
3 Press [Default Setup] on the scope’s front panel.
4 Press [Help]; then tap the Training Signals softkey.
5 Using the Entry knob, select the Setup & Hold Violation Signals signal; then
press the Output softkey to turn it on.
6 Press [Auto Scale], which should set each signal to 1.00V/ and timescale
to 50.00ns/.
You should now see on your scope’s display waveforms similar to
Figure 41. The channel- 1 waveform (yellow trace) is a clock signal, while
the channel- 2 waveform (green trace) represents a random data signal
