3-76. Hysteresis
3-77. The width of the hysteresis band, shown in Figure 3-18
is
determined by the sensitivity of
the counter. For frequencies below 40 MHz,
it
is less than 50 mV peak-to-peak. At frequencies
from 40 MHz to 100 MHz, it is less than 70 mV peak-to-peak. The signal must pass through the
entire hysteresis band before a trigger pulse
is
generated.
If
the SLOPE switch
is
set to
"+",
the
trigger pulse occurs at the top of the hysteresis band.
If
the SLOPE switch
is
set to "-",the trigger
pulse occurs at the bottom of the hysteresis band.
3-78. Since trigger level measurements made by the Option 020or021 DVM indicatethecenter
of the hysteresis band (except for when hysteresis compensation
is
in effect, see Paragraph 4-32),
a
better value for the actual trigger level may be obtained by subtracting one half the hysteresis
band
("-"
slope) or adding one half the hysteresis band
("+"
slope). A typical value for thewidth
of the hysteresiscband is 50 mV peak-to-peak.
3-79. The value to use for the hysteresis band depends on the frequency; or, for pulses, it
depends on the rise time.
