Command :TRIGger:MODE {COMM | DELay | EDGE | GLITch | PATTern | PWIDth | RUNT

| WINDow | SBUS<N>}

The :TRIGger:MODE command selects the trigger mode.

Mode Definition

COMM COMM mode lets you trigger on a serial pattern of bits in a waveform.

DELay Delay by Events mode lets you view pulses in your waveform that occur

a number of events after a specified waveform edge. Delay by Time

mode lets you view pulses in your waveform that occur a long time after

a specified waveform edge.

EDGE Edge trigger mode.

GLITch Trigger on a pulse that has a width less than a specified amount of time.

PATTern Pattern triggering lets you trigger the oscilloscope using more than one

channel as the trigger source. You can also use pattern triggering to

trigger on a pulse of a given width.

PWIDth PWIDth or pulse width trigger is used to find pulse that are either

narrower or wider than pulse width and conditions that you specify.

RUNT Runt trigger allows you to find pulses in your waveform that are shorter

in amplitude than other pulses in your waveform.

SBUS<N> Serial triggering on SBUS1, SBUS2, SBUS3, or SBUS4.

SEQuence Sequential triggering allows you to use multiple events or time/pattern

qualifications to define your trigger.

SHOLd SHOLd or setup and hold time trigger lets you find violations of setup and

hold times in your waveform.

STATe State triggering lets you set the oscilloscope to use several channels as

the trigger source, with one of the channels being used as a clock

waveform.

TIMeout Timeout trigger lets you find pulses that are high, low, or idle for too long

a period of time.

TRANsition Transition trigger lets you find pulses that have edges that are too slow

or too fast in your waveform.
