Triggering

Trigger Types

There are five trigger types: Edge, Video, Pulse, Slope, and Alternative.

You can access trigger modes by pressing the TRIG MENU front panel

button in the Trigger control group and selecting Type from the Trigger

menu.

Edge Triggering

1. Press the Type menu option button and select

Edge.

2. Press the Source option button to choose a

channel input or external input.

3. Use Slope to select a positive or negative edge for

Edge Triggering (rising edge, falling edge, or both).

4. Press the Mode option button to select Auto,

Normal, or Single mode. Use Auto mode to let

the acquisition automatically run in the absence of

a trigger. Use Normal mode when you want to see

only valid triggered waveforms (when you use this

mode the oscilloscope does not display a

waveform until after the first trigger). Use Single

mode when you want the oscilloscope to acquire a

single waveform.

5. Press the Setup option button to display the

Trigger Setup menu. You can use the Trigger

Setup menu to select a coupling mode and define

a Holdoff value. Coupling modes comprise DC,

AC, HF Reject, and LF Reject. Turn the Adjust

front panel knob to set the Holdoff value.
