Pattern Trigger
The Pattern trigger identifies a trigger condition by looking for a specified pattern. This
pattern is a logical AND combination of the channels. Each channel can have a value of 0
(low), 1 (high), or don't care (X). A rising or falling edge can be specified for one channel
included in the pattern. You can also trigger on a hex bus value as described on page 139.
1 Press the [Pattern] key in the Trigger section of the front panel to display the
PatternTrigger Menu.
2 For each analog or digital channel you want to include in the desired pattern, press the
Channel softkey to select the channel.
This is the channel source for the 0, 1, X, or edge condition. As you press the Channel
softkey (or rotate the Entry knob), the channel you select is highlighted in the
Pattern = line directly above the softkeys and in the upper-right corner of the
display next to “Pat”. External trigger may also be specified as a channel in the
pattern when using the 2-channel and 4-channel oscilloscopes.
Adjust the trigger level for the selected analog channel by turning the Trigger Level
knob. Press the [D15-D0] key and select Thresholds to set the threshold level for
digital channels. The value of the trigger level or digital threshold is displayed in the
upper-right corner of the display.
3 For each channel you select, press one of the condition softkeys to set the condition
for that channel in the pattern.
