• When the time range (><) qualifier is selected, the Entry knob sets the upper 
time range value.

• When the greater than (>) qualifier is selected, the Entry knob sets the 
oscilloscope to trigger on a pulse width greater than the time value displayed 
on the softkey.
• When the time range (><) qualifier is selected, the Entry knob sets the lower 
time range value.
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.
1 Press the [Trigger] key.
2 In the Trigger Menu, press the Trigger softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to 
select Pattern.
3 Press the Qualifier softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to select from the pattern 
duration qualifier options:
• Entered – when the pattern is entered.
• < (Less Than) – when the pattern is present for less than a time value.
• > (Greater Than) – when the pattern is present for greater than a time value. 
The trigger occurs when the pattern exits (not when the > softkey time value 
is exceeded).
• Timeout – when the pattern is present for greater than a time value. In this 
case, the trigger occurs when the > softkey time value is exceeded (not when 
the pattern exits).
• >< (In Range) – when the pattern is present for a time within a range of values.
• <> (Out of Range) – when the pattern is present for a time outside of range of 
values.
Pattern durations are evaluated using a timer. The timer starts on the last edge 
that makes the pattern (logical AND) true. Except when the Timeout qualifier is 
selected, the trigger occurs on the first edge that makes the pattern false, 
provided the time qualifier criteria has been met.
