Trigger Types

6000 Series Oscilloscope User's Guide
The oscilloscope lets you synchronize the display to the actions
of the circuit under test by defining a trigger condition. You can
use any input channel or the Ext Trigger BNC as the source for
most trigger types.
MegaZoom Technology Simplifies Triggering
With the built-in MegaZoom technology, you can simply AutoScale the
waveforms, then stop the oscilloscope to capture a waveform. You can then pan
and zoom through the data using the Horizontal and Vertical knobs to find a stable
trigger point. AutoScale often produces a triggered display.
These trigger types are available and are presented in the
following order in this chapter:
• Edge trigger
• Pulse Width (glitch) trigger
• Pattern trigger
• CAN (Controller Area Network) trigger
• Duration trigger
• FlexRay
2
• I C (Inter-IC bus) trigger
• Nth Edge Burst trigger
• LIN (Local Interconnect Network)
• Sequence trigger
• SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) trigger
• TV trigger
• USB (Universal Serial Bus) trigger
Changes to the trigger specification are applied when you make
them. If the oscilloscope is stopped when you change a trigger
specification, the oscilloscope will use the new specification
when you press Run/Stop or Single. If the oscilloscope is running
when you change a triggering specification, it uses the new
trigger definition when it starts the next acquisition.
