Video
Trigger sequences
Triggers from negative sync composite video, field 1, field 2, or alternating fields for interlaced systems,
any field, specific line, or any line for interlaced or non-interlaced systems. Supports NTSC, PAL-M
(525/60), PAL, SECAM (625/50), EDTV (480p/60), EDTV (576p/50), HDTV (720p/60), HDTV (720p/50),
HDTV (1080i/60), HDTV (1080i/50), HDTV (1080p/60), HDTV (1080p/50), HDTV (1080p/30), HDTV
(1080p/25), HDTV (1080p/24), and user-defined formats.
Three stage trigger sequences including two-stage hardware (Find event (A) and Trigger event (B)) and
one-stage InfiniiScan software trigger. Supports all hardware trigger modes except “edge then edge”
and “video,” and all InfiniiScan software trigger modes. Supports “delay (by time)” and “reset (by time or
event)” between two hardware sequences. The minimum latency between “find event (A)” and “trigger
event (B)” is 3 ns.
Trigger qualification AND
qualifier
Single or multiple channels may be logically qualified with any other trigger mode.
Trigger holdoff range
100nS to 10s
Trigger actions
Specify an action to occur and the frequency of the action when a trigger condition occurs. Actions
include e-mail on trigger and execute “multipurpose” user setting.
Software trigger
(requires InfiniiScan event identification software – Option 009)
Trigger modes
Zone qualify
Generic serial
Measurement limit
Non-monotonic edge
Runt
Software triggers on the user defined zones on screen. Zones can be specified as either “must intersect”
or “must not intersect.” Up to eight zones can be defined across multiple channels.
Software triggers on NRZ-encoded data up to 8.0 Gbps, up to 80-bit pattern. Support multiple clock data
recovery methods including constant frequency, 1st-order PLL, 2nd-order PLL, explicit clock, explicit
1st-order PLL, explicit 2nd-order PLL, Fibre Channel, FlexRay receiver, FlexRay transmitter (requires
E2688A except for the constant frequency clock data recovery mode).
Software triggers on the results of the measurement values. For example, when the “pulse width”
measurement is turned on, InfiniiScan measurement software trigger triggers on a glitch as narrow as 75
ps. When the “time interval error (TIE)” is measured, InfiniiScan can trigger on a specific TIE value.
Software triggers on the non-monotonic edge. The non-monotonic edge is specified by setting a
hysteresis value.
Software triggers on a pulse that crosses one threshold but fails to cross a second threshold before
crossing the first again. Unlike hardware runt trigger, InfiniiScan runt trigger can be further qualified via a
hysteresis value.
