Hysteresis to avoid unwanted trigger events caused by noise

Trigger Source
The trigger source defines which source must fulfill the condition that triggers the mea-
surement. Basically, this can be:
●
Time: the measurement is repeated in a regular interval
●
Power: an input signal is checked for a defined power level
The trigger signal can be any of the following:
–
The input signal at one of various stages in the signal analysis process - before
or after the input mixer, after the video filter etc.
– A signal from an external device via one of the TRIGGER INPUT / OUTPUT
connectors on the instrument
– A signal from a power sensor, see "Using a Power Sensor as an External
Power Trigger" on page 374.
For details on the available trigger sources see "Trigger Source" on page 482.
Trigger Offset
An offset can be defined to delay the measurement after the trigger event, or to include
data before the actual trigger event in time domain measurements (pre-trigger offset).
Pre-trigger offsets are possible because the R&S
FSW captures data continuously in
the time domain, even before the trigger occurs.
See "Trigger Offset" on page 485.
Trigger Hysteresis
Setting a hysteresis for the trigger helps avoid unwanted trigger events caused by
noise, for example. The hysteresis is a threshold to the trigger level that the signal
must fall below on a rising slope or rise above on a falling slope before another trigger
event occurs.
