Triggering 4
InfiniiVision Oscilloscopes User’s Guide 117
• Stop Condition — The oscilloscope triggers when data (SDA) transitions from low 
to high while the clock (SCL) is high.
• Missing Acknowledge — The oscilloscope triggers when SDA data is high during 
any Ack SCL clock bit.
• Address with no Ack — The oscilloscope triggers when the acknowledge of the 
selected address field is false. The R/W bit is ignored.
• Restart — The oscilloscope triggers when another start condition occurs before a 
stop condition.
• EEPROM Data Read — The trigger looks for EEPROM control byte value 1010xxx 
on the SDA line, followed by a Read bit and an Ack bit. It then looks for the data 
value and qualifier set by the Data softkey and the Data is softkey. When this event 
occurs, the oscilloscope will trigger on the clock edge for the Ack bit after the data 
byte. This data byte does not need to occur directly after the control byte.
