Trigger Type: 
Press Type, and then rotate the multifunction knob    to select "SPI". Press down 
the knob to select the trigger type. Then, the current trigger setting information is 
displayed at the upper-right corner of the screen, as shown in the figure below. You 
can also press Type continuously to select the trigger type or enable the touch 
screen to tap the desired trigger type and select it. 
   
 
Source Selection: 
Press CLK and MISO to specify the sources of SCL and SDA respectively. They can 
be set to CH1-CH4 or D0-D15. For details, refer to descriptions in "Trigger Source". 
The current trigger source is displayed at the upper-right corner of the screen. 
Note: Only when we select the channel (that has been input with signals) as the 
trigger source, can we obtain a stable trigger. 
 
Edge Type: 
Press Slope continuously to select the desired clock edge type. 
⚫  Rising: samples the SDA data on the rising edge of the clock. 
⚫  Falling: samples the SDA data on the falling edge of the clock. 
 
Trigger Condition: 
Press When continuously to select the desired trigger condition. 
⚫  Timeout: the oscilloscope starts to search for the data (SDA) on which to trigger 
after the clock signal (SCL) stays in the idle state for a specified period of time. 
After selecting this condition, you can press Timeout, then rotate the 
multifunction knob    or use the pop-up numeric keypad to set the idle time. 
The range is from 8 ns to 10 s.   
⚫  With CS: if the CS signal is valid, the oscilloscope will trigger when the data (SDA) 
satisfying the trigger conditions is found. 
➢  Press CS to select the chip selection signal line. The available channels are 
CH1-CH4 or D0-D15. For details, refer to descriptions in "Trigger Source". 
The current trigger source is displayed at the upper-right corner of the 
screen. 
➢  Press More → CS Mode to set the current CS mode to "Pos " (high 
level is valid) or "Neg " (low level is valid). 
 
Current Bit: 
Press More → Bit X to set the data bit that needs to be operated on. For setting 
methods, refer to descriptions in "I2C Trigger (Option)".   
 
Data Bits: 
Press More → DataBits, then rotate the multifunction knob    or use the pop-up 
numeric keypad to set the number of bits in the serial data string. The number of bits 
in the string can be set to any integer ranging from 4 and 32.
