6.3.9 Slew rate
Access: "Menu">"Trigger" > "Setup" tab > "Type = Slew rate"
The slew rate trigger is also known as transition trigger. It triggers if the transition time
from the lower to higher voltage level (or vice versa) is shorter or longer as defined, or
outside or inside a specified time range.
The slew rate trigger finds slew rates faster than expected or permissible to avoid over-
shooting and other interfering effects. It also detects slow edges violating the timing in
pulse series.
Slope
Sets the edge type for the trigger condition.
"Positive"
Selects the rising edge, that is a positive voltage change.
"Negative"
Selects the falling edge, that is a negative voltage change.
"Both"
Selects the rising as well as the falling edge. This option is not availa-
ble if the trigger source is the external trigger input.
Remote command:
TRIGger<m>:EDGE:SLOPe on page 1256
TRIGger<m>:ANEDge:SLOPe on page 1258
TRIGger<m>:SLEW:SLOPe on page 1269
Upper level
Sets the upper voltage threshold. When the signal crosses this level, the slew rate
measurement starts or stops depending on the selected slope.
