The width trigger compares the pulse width (duration of a pulse) with a given time limit.
It detects pulses with an exact pulse width, pulses shorter or longer than a given time,
and pulses inside or outside the allowable time range. The pulse width is measured at
the trigger level.
Using the width trigger, you can define the pulse width more precisely than with the
glitch trigger. However, using the range settings "Shorter" and "Longer", you can also
trigger on glitches.
The width trigger can only analyze either positive or negative polarity, but searching
for a width is also possible for both polarities at the same time ("Either").
Polarity
Indicates the polarity of a pulse, that is the direction of the first pulse slope.
"Positive"
Triggers on positive going pulses.
"Negative"
Triggers on negative going pulses.
Remote command:
TRIGger<m>:WIDTh:POLarity on page 1172
Range
Selects how the range of a pulse width is defined:
"Within"
Triggers on pulses inside a given range. The range of the pulse width
is defined by "±Delta" related to "Width".
"Outside"
Triggers on pulses outside a given range. The range definition is the
same as for "Within" range.
"Shorter"
Triggers on pulses shorter than the given "Width".
"Longer"
Triggers on pulses longer than the given "Width".
Remote command:
TRIGger<m>:WIDTh:RANGe on page 1172
Width
For the ranges "Within" and "Outside", the width defines the center of a range which is
defined by the limits ±Delta.
For the ranges "Shorter" and "Longer", the width defines the maximum and minimum
pulse width, respectively.
