MultiStage Triggers
A type of MultiStage trigger, Cascaded triggers when a succession of criteria in Stages A-D are met. Each
stage can result in different trigger actions, such as arm only, trigger only, or trigger and rearm.
QualFirst arms the oscilloscope on the A event, then triggers on all subsequent B events.
NOTE: This button is enabled when using the sequence sampling mode. It is commonly used in sequence
mode for disk drive applications with the index pulse defined as the A qualifier signal and the servo gate
signal as the B triggering events.
Qualified arms the oscilloscope on the A event, then triggers on the B event. In Normal trigger mode, it
automatically resets after the B event. A (arm) can be Edge, Pattern, State, or PatState events; B (trigger)
can be Edge or Pattern events.
Only available as a sub-type of Qualified triggers, PatState triggers when the qualifying signal goes above
or below a specified voltage level. You can specify the number of these events that must occur to trigger.
Serial Triggers
Protocol-enabled serial triggers are available as options on some oscilloscope models. This trigger type
will be available only if you have such an option installed.
Trigger Settings
To access the Trigger setup dialogs, choose Trigger > Trigger Setup from the menu bar, or press the Front
Panel Trigger Setup button.
The dialogs you see and the options on them will vary depending on your trigger type selection. The main
Trigger dialog contains settings that are required for most trigger types.
The trigger setup is summarized in a preview window at the far right of the Trigger dialog.
