If the trigger source is a channel input, the trigger system uses the digitized signal. The
trigger system of the instrument is a separate system, thus the signal processing by
enhancement, decimation and arithmetic has no impact on the trigger signal. Most of
the R&S RTE trigger types use the digitized trigger signal.
If the trigger source is the external trigger input, the trigger comparator uses the analog
input signal. For the external trigger signal, only the edge trigger of the A-trigger is
available. Trigger sequence is not supported.
6.8.1 Probe setup: Extern tab
The "Trigger" > "Extern" tab provides all settings that are relevant for the probe that is
connected to the external trigger input. The functionality on the tab changes according
to the type of the attached probe. They are the same as for probe setup of input chan-
nels: see Chapter 5.5, "Probes", on page 193.
If the external trigger input is overloaded, a message informs you.
