Introduction to Main Functions Introduction to Main Functions Introduction to Main Functions
There are two main categories of triggers: simple triggers and enhanced triggers.
If the signal input to the
measurement input
terminal passes through
the specified trigger level
(on the rising or falling
edge, or both edges), the
trigger activates.
A trigger activates the Nth time
condition B becomes true after
condition A becomes true.
A trigger activates depending on
whether the conditions became true
or not for a shorter or longer duration
than a specified reference time.
A trigger activates on the video signal
being input to CH1.
* A trigger source is a signal to which trigger activation conditions are applied.
When measuring waveforms, numerical data is being loaded into the acquisition memory, and that data can be
viewed on the DL7400 screen as a waveform. When taking continuous measurements, even if you stop
measurement when you see an abnormal waveform, the waveform usually scrolls off the screen by the time
measurement stops, preventing you from viewing it carefully. But with the history memory function, you can display
past waveform data that has been loaded into the acquisition memory while measurement is stopped. You can
displayed a specific waveform from among a maximum of 4096 "history waveforms." Also, you can search for history
waveforms that pass (or do not pass) through a specified search zone. For details on this function, see section 10.2,
"Searching the History Waveforms Using Zones (History Search)" in the user's manual.

Trigger
If the signal input to the
EXT TRIG IN terminal
passes through the
specified trigger level (on
the rising or falling edge, or
both edges), the trigger
activates.
After condition A becomes true, a
trigger activates once condition B
becomes true after a specified time
has elapsed.
A trigger activates when at least one
of the trigger conditions from several
trigger sources is met.
A trigger activates on a logic signal.

User's manual chapter 6, "Triggers"
A trigger activates on the
rising or falling of the
waveform from the
commercial power being
supplied to the DL7400.
A trigger activates when all of the
trigger conditions from several trigger
sources* are met/not met.
A trigger activates when a trigger
source enters or exits a "window"
specified by two voltage levels.
