To use Sequence triggering
Sequence trigger allows you to trigger the oscilloscope after finding a sequence
of events. Defining a sequence trigger requires three steps:
a Define an event to find before you search for the trigger.
The “find” event can be a pattern, an edge from a single channel, or the
combination of a pattern and a channel edge.
b Define the trigger event.
The “trigger on” event can be a pattern, an edge from a single channel, the
combination of a pattern and a channel edge, or the nth occurrence of an
edge from a single channel.
c Set an optional reset event.
If you choose to define a “reset” event, the event can be a pattern, an edge
from a single channel, the combination of a pattern and a channel edge, or a
timeout value.
