MSO4000/DS4000 User’s Guide  5-39 
Note: Channels that are turned off can also be selected as the signal 
source of the SCL and SDA. 
 
2)  Turn TRIGGER 
  LEVEL to adjust the trigger level (when CH1 to CH4 is 
selected) or threshold level (when D0 to D15 is selected) (please refer to 
“
Trigger Level/Threshold Level”). The current trigger level/threshold 
level is displayed at the upper-right side of the screen. 
 
2.  Specify the data line signal source and adjust the trigger 
level/threshold level 
Press SDA and select the data line signal source and adjust the trigger 
level/threshold level according to step 1.  
 
3.  Specify the trigger condition 
Press When, turn the multi-function knob   to select the desired trigger 
condition and press the knob. You can also press When continuously to switch 
the current trigger condition.  
  Start: trigger when SDA data transitions from high to low while SCL clock is 
high. 
  Restart: trigger when another start condition occurs before a stop 
condition. 
  Stop: trigger when SDA data transitions from low to high while SCL clock is 
high. 
  Missing ACK: trigger when the SDA data is high during any 
acknowledgement of SCL clock bit. 
  Address: trigger on the clock (SCL) edge corresponding to the byte of data 
(SDA) behind the preset address (Write, Read or R/W direction). 
 
Set the address parameters: 
―  press AddrBits and turn the multi-function knob   to select “7 bit”, 
“8 bit” or “10 bit”. You can also press AddrBits continuously to switch 
the current address bits. 
―  press Address and turn the multi-function knob   to select the 
desired address.  
The range of address is related to the “AddrBits” setting. When the 
address bits is 7 bit, 8 bit and 10 bit, the ranges of address are 0 to 127, 
0 to 255 and 0 to 1023 respectively.
