Description
Clock Source
Sets the signal to use as the clock. The clock source can be an analog, digital, math, or reference
waveform.
Clock Threshold
Sets the threshold level that the clock signal must pass through to be considered a valid transition. The
clock threshold value is independent of the input signal threshold(s).
Clock Edge
Sets the polarity of the clock edge (rising or falling) for evalluating the other menu conditions.
Data Sources: Define Inputs
Opens the Setup & Hold Trigger - Define Inputs menu. Use this menu to select the input signals and
their thresholds. See
Setup & Hold Trigger - Define Inputs configuration menu
on page 224.
Setup Time
Sets the length of time that data signal should be stable and not change before a clock edge occurs.
Hold Time
Sets the length of time that data signal should be stable and not change after a clock edge occurs.
Mode & Holdoff
Trigger Mode determines how the instrument behaves in the absence or presence of a trigger event.
Holdoff sets the amount of time the oscilloscope waits after a trigger event before detecting and
triggering on the next trigger event.
For additional information on Trigger Mode, Holdoff, forcing a trigger, and the Trigger Frequency
Counter see
on page 226.
