Including a Delay Time
When you are using a video trigger in the time domain or an external trigger, you can
delay the start of the measurement with respect to the trigger event by entering a delay
time. In this way, you can include time differences between the trigger event and the
measurement.
The range of the trigger delay is from 0 s to 100 s. The resolution depends on the sub-
range.

1. Press the [SWEEP] key.
2. Select the "Trigger" softkey.
3. Select the "Trigger Delay" menu item.
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH opens an input field to define the trigger delay.
4. Enter the delay time you need.
Defining the Trigger Level
When you are using the video trigger, you have to define a trigger level. The trigger
level is a percentage of the reference level. A trigger level of 100 % is the same as the
reference level. A trigger level of, e.g. 50 % corresponds to the middle of the vertical
axis. The R&S Cable Rider ZPH indicates the video trigger level with a triangle.
1. Press the [SWEEP] key.
2. Select the "Trigger" softkey.
3. Select the "Video" menu item.
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH opens an input field to define the trigger level.
4. Enter the trigger level.
The R&S Cable Rider ZPH shows the trigger level by adding a horizontal line to the
diagram area.
Performing Gated Sweeps
After the gate settings are configured, it is possible to perform a gated sweep measure-
ment.
