Basic Triggers

Edge/Slope/Line: Triggers when the signal meets the slope and level condition.

SMART Triggers

State or Edge qualified: Triggers on any input source only if a defined state or edge occurred on
another input source. Delay between sources is selectable by time or events.
Dropout: Triggers if the input signal drops out for longer than a selectable time-out between 2 ns
and 20 s.
Pattern: Logic combination (AND, NAND, OR, NOR) of 5 inputs (4 channels and external trigger
input). Each source can be high, low, or don't care. The High and Low level can be selected
independently. Triggers at start or end of pattern.

SMART Triggers with Exclusion Technology

Glitch: Triggers on positive or negative glitches with widths selectable from 600 ps to 20 s or on
intermittent faults.
Signal or Pattern Width: Triggers on positive or negative pulse widths selectable from 600 ps to
20 s or on intermittent faults.
Signal or Pattern Interval: Triggers on intervals selectable from 2 ns to 20 s.

Automatic Setup

Autosetup: Automatically sets timebase, trigger, and sensitivity to display a wide range of
repetitive signals.
Vertical Find Scale: Automatically sets the vertical sensitivity and offset for the selected channels
to display a waveform with maximum dynamic range.

Probes

Probes: A variety of optional passive and active probes is available.
Probe System ProLink with ProBus: Automatically detects and supports a wide variety of
