Operation 
Video Triggering 
The available Television/Video
 (TV)
 enhancement adds TV LINES. FLD1, and FLD2 
Coupling to the A-Trigger. See Appendix A to change the line-number format and the 
sync polarity automatically selected when you select TV triggering. 
To trigger at the video line rate: 
1.
 Select a composite video signal as the trigger source. 
2.
 Select LINES coupling. 
3. Set SLOPE to the polarity of the sync. 
To trigger at a specific video line: 
1.
 Select a composite video signal as the trigger source. 
2.
 Select
 FLD1.
 FLD2, or ALT coupling. 
3. Set SLOPE to the polarity of the sync. 
4.
 Turn FLD LINE # (A) to the desired line number. 
When you increment or decrement the line number outside the range of the 
selected
 field,
 the other field is automatically selected. 
With ALT field coupling, the line number is referred to the beginning of both fields. 
The trigger level can be adjusted to vary the actual sync trigger point. This can be 
useful when triggering on noisy video signals. INIT@50% resets the trigger point to 
mid-range. 
To compare two video signals with the same format that are not perfectly 
synchronized, such as from a camera and a VCR or from the input and output of a time 
base corrector: 
1.
 Display the signals on CH 1 and CH 2, with Alt Vertical mode. 
2.
 Select VERT Trigger Source, and ALT field trigger coupling. 
3. The CH 1 display triggers on field 1 and the CH 2 display triggers on field 2. 
TV Lines trigger coupling with multiple vertical channels, Alt Vertical mode, and Vert 
Trigger source produce unpredictable results. 
A "A" symbol with the line number display shows when the A/FLD LINE # control 
can change the line number. If AV, At. or 1/At is on, press a trigger Coupling button to 
redirect the control to line number selection. Press AV or At to redirect the control to 
cursor or delay adjustment. The first push redirects the control. A second push will 
change the A function or trigger coupling.
