TV trigger
This trigger is used when observing a video signal. NTSC (525/60/2), PAL (625/50/2),
and HDTV (1125/60/2) standards are supported. The horizontal sync signal can be
set to any frequency, allowing a trigger to be taken from any TV signal, not necessarily
one of the above standards.
• Serial
A trigger function for capturing serial pattern signals.
The DL9000 synchronizes to the selected clock signal and detects a serial data
pattern. You can specify up to 128 bits for the serial data pattern used for triggering.
You can set the CS signal, which controls the period over which the data source is
checked, and the latch source, which specifies the timing for comparing patterns.
• I
2
C
A trigger function for capturing I
2
C bus signals.
Five trigger modes are available.
Inter Integrated Circuit (I
2
C) bus is a bi-directional bus for inter-IC communications.
Note that the /F5 or /F8 option is required to analyze I2C bus signals.
• CAN
A trigger function for capturing CAN bus signals.
Controller Area Network (CAN) is a serial communication protocol that has
been standardized internationally by the ISO (International Organization for
Standardization). Note that the /F7 or /F8 option is required to analyze CAN bus
signals.
• LIN
A trigger function for capturing LIN bus signals.
Local Interconnect Network (LIN) is a serial communication protocol mainly used in
vehicles. Note that the /F7 or /F8 option is required to analyze LIN bus signals.
• SPI
A trigger function for capturing SPI bus signals.
Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) is a synchronous serial bus that is widely used for
inter-IC communications and data communications. Note that the /F5, /F7, or /F8
option is required to analyze SPI bus signals.
• UART
A trigger function for capturing UART bus signals.
Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter (UART) is an integrated circuit that
performs serial-to-parallel conversion and parallel-to-serial conversion. UART is
generally used in inter-device communication such as with EIA RS-232. Note that the
/F5, /F7, or /F8 option is required to analyze UART signals.
