Chapter 4 Triggering on Waveforms About this Chapter This chapter provides an introduction to the trigger functions of the test tool. Triggering tells the test tool when to begin displaying the waveform. You can use fully automatic triggering, take control of one or more main trigger functions (semi-automatic triggering), or you can use dedicated trigger functions to capture special waveforms.
PAGE 70
ScopeMeter® Test Tool 190 Series II Users Manual Setting Trigger Level and Slope The Connect-and-View™ function enables hands-off triggering to display complex unknown signals. When your test tool is in manual range, do the following: MANUAL AUTO Perform an auto set. AUTO appears at the top right of the screen. Automatic triggering assures a stable display of virtually any signal. From this point, you can take over the basic trigger controls such as level, slope and delay.
PAGE 71
Triggering on Waveforms Using Trigger Delay or Pre-trigger Using Trigger Delay or Pre-trigger You can begin to display the waveform some time before or after the trigger point has been detected. Initially, you have a half screen (6 divisions) of pre-trigger view (negative delay). 4 When a valid trigger signal is found, the trigger key will be lit and the trigger parameters appear in black. When no trigger is found, the trigger parameters appear in gray, ands the key light will be off.
