Trigger |
Description |
Edge |
Conventional level-driven trigger. Positive or negative slope on any channel. Coupling selections: AC, DC, Noise Reject, HF Reject, LF Reject |
Video |
Trigger on all lines or individual lines, odd/even or all fields on NTSC, PAL, SECAM |
Extended Video |
Trigger on specific lines in broadcast and non-broadcast (custom) standards and on analog HDTV formats (1080i, 1080p, 720p, 480p). Requires TDS3VID or TDS3SDI application module. |
Pulse Width (or Glitch) |
Trigger on a pulse width <, >, =, ≠ to a selectable time limit ranging from 39.6 ns to 50 s |
Runt |
Trigger on a pulse that crosses one threshold but fails to cross a second threshold before crossing the first again |
Slew Rate |
Trigger on on pulse edge rates that are either faster or slower than a set rate. Egdes can be rising, falling, or either |
Pattern |
Specifies AND, OR, NAND, NOR when true or false for a specific time |
State |
Any logic state. Trigger able on rising or falling edge of clock. Logic triggers can be used on combinations of 2 inputs (not 4) |
Comm |
