MIL-STD-1553 Triggering
To set up the oscilloscope to capture a MIL- STD- 1553 signal, see "Setup 
for MIL- STD- 1553 Signals" on page 407.
To set up a MIL- STD-1553 trigger:
1 Press  [Trigger].
2 In the Trigger Menu, press the Trigger softkey; then, turn the Entry knob 
to select the serial slot (Serial 1 or Serial 2) on which the 
MIL- STD-1553 signal is being decoded.
3 Press the Trigger softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to select the trigger 
condition:
• Data Word Start — triggers on the start of a Data word (at the end of a 
valid Data Sync pulse).
• Data Word Stop — triggers on the end of a Data word.
• Command/Status Word Start — triggers on the start of Command/Status 
word (at the end of a valid C/S Sync pulse).
• Command/Status Word Stop — triggers on the end of a Command/Status 
word.
• Remote Terminal Address — triggers if the RTA of the Command/Status 
word matches the specified value.
When this option is selected, the RTA softkey becomes available and 
lets you select the hex Remote Terminal Address value to trigger on. 
If you select 0xXX (don't cares), the oscilloscope will trigger on any 
RTA.
• Remote Terminal Address + 11 Bits — triggers if the RTA and the 
remaining 11 bits match the specified criteria.
When this option is selected, these softkeys become available:
• The  RTA softkey lets you select the hex Remote Terminal Address 
value.
• The  Bit Time softkey lets you select the bit time position.
