The Trigger Menu
When you are set up in a multi-card configuration, only the master
card input channels are recognized as the trigger source. The
oscilloscope will not trigger on inputs from the other cards in a
multi-card setup.
This chapter discusses how triggering works in a single card
configuration or in the master card in a multi-card configuration.
You access the trigger options through the Mode field which is located
at the leftmost position of the middle row of fields in the Trigger
menu. The Mode field allows you to select the method you want to
use to trigger the oscilloscope for a particular application. When you
touch the Mode field, a pop-up menu appears, showing the three
modes that are available:
•
Edge
•
Pattern
•
Immediate
This chapter explains what the trigger marker is, how to access the
different trigger modes, and what each trigger mode does.
The default selection for the Trigger field is Edge.
Trigger Menu Map
The menu map on the next page illustrates all fields and the available
options in the Trigger menu. The menu map will help you get an
overview as well as provide you with a quick reference of what the
Trigger menu contains.
