Getting Started Manual
Instrument
The Instrument setup button shows a configuration screen where you can configure how the digital instrument
samples data ‐ including the half/full channel mode selection and setting threshold levels. Changes made on the
Instrument setup screen take effect on the next acquisition.
Note: If you select a different channel mode, the information shown on the left of this setup display is updated
to match acquisition details for your choice.
Trigger
The Trigger setup button opens a pop‐up used for configuring trigger conditions for the digital device. The
trigger pop‐up has four tabs for different trigger categories.
Note: It's important to note that the trigger logic always runs at a rate of 500 MHz under all modes, regardless
of the selected Sample Rate. This allows you to continue triggering on fast events even when lowering the
Sample Rate to obtain a longer timeframe of data. However, this may result in trigger events that cannot be
seen in the slower sampled acquisition data when presented on the waveform display area.

for each of two trigger blocks (A and B) and then they can be combined in different logical ways including: A
only, B only, A and B, A or B, A then B, and B then A.
