Edge Trigger - Agilent Technologies 4000 X-Series User Manual

10
Triggers
This key is useful in the Normal trigger mode where acquisitions are made
only when the trigger condition is met. In this mode, if no triggers are
occurring (that is, the "Trig'd?" indicator is displayed), you can press [Force
Trigger] to force a trigger and see what the input signals look like.
In the Auto trigger mode, when the trigger condition is not met, triggers
are forced and the "Auto?" indicator is displayed.

Edge Trigger

The Edge trigger type identifies a trigger by looking for a specified edge
(slope) and voltage level on a waveform. You can define the trigger source
and slope in this menu. The trigger type, source, and level are displayed in
the upper- right corner of the display.
1 On the front panel, in the Trigger section, press the [Trigger] key.
2 In the Trigger Menu, press the Trigger softkey, and use the Entry knob
3 Select the trigger source:
168
to select Edge.
Analog channel, 1 to the number of channels
•
Digital channel (on mixed- signal oscilloscopes), D0 to the number of
•
digital channels minus one.
External — triggers on the EXT TRIG IN signal.
•
Line — triggers at the 50% level of the rising or falling edge of the AC
•
power source signal.
WaveGen 1/2 — triggers at the 50% level of the rising edge of the
•
waveform generator output signal. (Not available when the DC, Noise,
or Cardiac waveforms are selected.)
WaveGen Mod (FSK/FM) — when waveform generator FSK or FM
•
modulation is used, triggers at the 50% level of the rising edge of the
modulating signal.
You can choose a channel that is turned off (not displayed) as the
source for the edge trigger.
The selected trigger source is indicated in the upper- right corner of the
display next to the slope symbol:
1 through 4 = analog channels.
