Pattern Trigger
This trigger mode identifies a trigger condition by looking for a specified pattern.
The pattern is a logical “AND” combination of the channels. Each channel can have a
value of high (H), low (L) or don’t care (X). A rising or falling edge can be specified
for one channel included in the pattern. When an edge is specified, the oscilloscope
will trigger at the edge specified if the pattern set for the other channels are true
(namely the actual pattern of the channel is the same with the preset pattern). If no
edge is specified, the oscilloscope will trigger on the last edge that makes the pattern
true. If all the channels in the pattern are set to “Don’t Care”, the oscilloscope will not
