6.7.4 Video Trigger
Video triggering can be used to capture the complicated waveforms of most standard analog video signals. The trigger
circuitry detects the vertical and horizontal interval of the waveform and produces triggers based on the video trigger
settings you have selected.
The oscilloscope supports standard video signal eld or line of NTSC (National Television Standards Committee), PAL
(Phase Alternating Line) HDTV (High Denition Television) and custom video signal trigger.
