Explanation
Setting the trigger source and trigger state/level
The trigger state can be selected from the following.
L
The trigger source level is above the preset trigger level.
H
The trigger source level is below the preset trigger level.
X
Not used as the trigger source.
The setting limit and resolution for the trigger level is the same as for the edge trigger. Refer
to page 6-2.
Selecting the clock channel (ClkCH)
Set the clock channel to “
X
” when no trigger in synchronization with the signal is activated,
and select from “
CH1 - CH4
” when a trigger in synchronization with the signal is activated.
The following trigger slopes can be selected.
Slope rising edge (changes from a level below the trigger level to one above the trigger
level)
Slope falling edge (changes from a level above the trigger level to one below the trigger
level)
Selecting the trigger condition: Condtn
• Activating a trigger using only the state pattern
Select the trigger condition from the following.
ENTER
Activates a trigger when the combination (pattern) becomes true.
EXIT
Activates a trigger when the pattern becomes false.
[Setting example]
CH1
: H
CH2
: L
CH3
: X
CH4
: X
Condition : ENTER
• Activating a trigger in synchronization with the clock signal
Select the trigger condition from the following.
TRUE
Activates a trigger on the slope edge (riseor fall) of the clock channel when the
state pattern becomes true.
FALSE
Activates a trigger on the slope edge of the clock channel when the state
pattern becomes false.
[Setting example]
CH1
: H
CH2
: L
CH4
: X
Clock CH : CH3
Condition : TRUE
Points to note when setting the pattern trigger
• If the trigger type setting is changed, the pattern trigger setting will be invalidated.
However, selecting the pattern trigger again will restore the previous settings.
• Auto-mode operations are carried out even if the trigger mode is set to auto-level mode.
• Select the trigger states for all trigger sources. Make sure to select the trigger slope for
the selected clock channel.
• If you want to activate a trigger in synchronization with the clock signal, make sure that
the pattern set-up time is 2 ns or more relative to the clock and that the hold-time is 0 ns
or less.
