Reset on event/Reset event
If enabled, the trigger sequence is restarted by the R-trigger condition if the specified
number of B-triggers does not occur before the trigger conditions are fulfilled.
The R-trigger condition is configured in the same way as the A-trigger. The instrument
disables settings that do not fit the previous settings in the sequence.
Remote command:
TRIGger<m>:SEQuence:RESet:EVENt on page 1312
Reset on timeout/Reset timeout
If timeout is enabled, the instrument waits for the "Timeout" time for the specified num-
ber of B-triggers. If no trigger occurs during that time, the sequence is restarted with
the A-trigger.
Remote command:
TRIGger<m>:SEQuence:RESet:TIMeout[:ENABle] on page 1312
TRIGger<m>:SEQuence:RESet:TIMeout:TIME on page 1312
Couple sequence thresholds
Sets the trigger levels to the values of the latest configured trigger condition. Each
channel has its own trigger level.
Example:
If you have configured the A-trigger at last, and the trigger level for C1 is 70 mV, ena-
bling the coupling sets the trigger levels for C1 in the B- and R trigger also to 70 mV. If
the B-trigger and/or R-trigger use another source as the A-trigger, the level remains
unchanged.
Remote command:
TRIGger<m>:ECOupling on page 1311
6.9 Zone trigger
The zone trigger function requires option R&S RTP-K19.
The zone trigger triggers on the intersection or non-intersection of the signal and one
or more zones or masks. The zone can be applied to any active input signal, math
waveform including FFT, and XY-waveform.
You can use the zone trigger, for example, to solve the following tasks:
●
Trigger if a peak in the spectrum occurs, define a zone in the FFT diagram to filter
amplitude peaks. In the same way, you can filter harmonics.
●
Separate rising and falling edges, define a zone around the base or top of the data
signal.
●
Separate read/write cycles - define a zone in the eye diagram.
●
Identify a tube violation of signals with an infrequent non-monotonic edge.
●
Filter events in the history, after acquisition
