Trigger Mode
Configure Scope/Meter allows you to choose the type of trigger, see
‚ on page 84 for
additional information. Two triggering choices are available:
•
Auto Trigger
—updates the screen when the signal crosses the trigger threshold in the
selected direction (rising or falling).
The screen automatically updates after a short period so you can see the waveform, even if
the signal does not cross the trigger threshold. You can set a threshold to optimize viewing.
•
Manual Trigger
—updates the screen when the signal crosses the trigger threshold in the
selected direction (rising or falling).
The screen does not update if the signal does not cross the trigger threshold. You can capture
intermittent events because the screen only updates when the signal crosses the trigger
threshold.
