Chapter 2: Task Guide
Setting Up Triggers and Running Measurements
• Insert and break down trigger functions from the loaded library just like
normal trigger functions.
• Copy trigger function libraries to other logic analysis systems and load
them into other logic analyzers that have trigger function library capability.
• Edit the trigger function library, adding or deleting functions, or delete the
library.
NOTE: If a trigger sequence or configuration file uses a trigger function library that
has been deleted, or a trigger function that has been deleted from a library,
the logic analyzer replaces the missing function with the default trigger
function.
To load/unload trigger function libraries
1. In the Trigger tab's Trigger Functions subtab, select the Trigger function
libraries button.
2. Select the library from the list.
Only libraries created in the same sampling mode are available.
3. Select the Load (or Unload) button.
All of the library's trigger functions are added to (or removed from) the list
of trigger functions.
To copy trigger function libraries between systems
1. Connect your logic analysis system to the network. (see the Agilent
Technologies 16700A/B-Series Logic Analysis System help volume)
2. Using a computer on your network, copy the appropriate files from the /
logic/trigger_functions/ directory to a central location, or
directly to other logic analyzers on the network.
