Triggering: Find & Capture Signal of Interest
Powerful Measurement Leverage
Easy, Effective Ways to Monitor Environment for Signal
Look for Expected and Unexpected Signals
Avoid Measuring When No Signal Present
Monitor Other Frequency Bands?
Trigger on Other Activities
• External trigger from your circuit
• Oscilloscope or logic analyzer
• Consider all you know about signals, systems, transitions
• Take advantage of repeating signals, inter-signal timing, pos/neg delays
Triggering Can Enhance Measurement Performance
• Time or synchronous averaging
• Periodic trigger
Trigger a Time Capture
