11 Triggers
 
1 Press the Time > softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to set the time to 
greater-than the sync-pulse width so that the oscilloscope synchronizes to the 
vertical sync.
2 Press the Edge # softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to select the Nth edge after 
after vertical sync to trigger on.
3 To enable or disable the horizontal sync control, press the first Horiz Sync 
softkey.
• For interleaved video, enabling the Horiz Sync control and setting the 
Horiz Sync adjustment to the sync time of the probed video signal allows the 
Edge # function to count only lines and not double count during equalization. 
Additionally, the Field Holdoff can be adjusted so that the oscilloscope 
triggers once per frame.
• Similarly, for progressive video with a tri-level sync, enabling the Horiz Sync 
control and setting the Horiz Sync adjustment to the sync time of the probed 
video signal allows the Edge # function to count only lines and not double 
count during vertical sync.
When the horizontal sync control is enabled, press the second Horiz Sync 
softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to set the minimum time the horizontal sync 
pulse must be present to be considered valid.
To trigger on a specific line of video
Video triggering requires greater than 1/2 division of sync amplitude with any 
analog channel as the trigger source. Turning the trigger Level knob in Video 
trigger does not change the trigger level because the trigger level is automatically 
set to the sync pulse tips.
One example of triggering on a specific line of video is looking at the vertical 
interval test signals (VITS), which are typically in line 18. Another example is 
closed captioning, which is typically in line 21.
1 Press the [Trigger] key.
2 In the Trigger Menu, press the Trigger softkey; then, turn the Entry knob to
