C trigger conditions:
• Start Condition — The oscilloscope triggers when SDA data
transitions from high to low while the SCL clock is high.
For triggering purposes (including frame triggers), a
restart is treated as a start condition.
• Stop Condition — The oscilloscope triggers when data (SDA)
transitions from low to high while the clock (SCL) is high.
• Missing Acknowledge — The oscilloscope triggers when SDA
data is high during any Ack SCL clock bit.
• Address with no Ack — The oscilloscope triggers when the
acknowledge of the selected address field is false. The R/W
bit is ignored.
• Restart — The oscilloscope triggers when another start
condition occurs before a stop condition.
