32. SOURCE-Determines the source of the trigger
signal coupled to the input of the trigger circuit.
NORM: Trigger source is displayed signal(s). It does
not indicate time relationship between CH 1 and CH 2
signals. However, stable triggering of non-time-related
signals usually can be obtained by setting VERT MODE to
AL T, SOURCE to NORM and COUPLING to LF REJ.
Carefully adjust LEVEL for a stable display.
CH 1: A sample of the signal available in Channel 1 is
used as a
trigger signal. CH 2 signal is unstable if it is not
time-related.
CH 2: A sample of the signal available in Channel 2 is
used as a trigger signal. CH 1 signal is unstable if it is not
time-related.
LINE (A Trigger circuit only): A sample of the power-
line frequency is used as a trigger signal. It is useful when
the input signal is time-related (mu Itiple or submultiple) to
the line frequency or when it is desirable to provide a
stable display of a line-frequency component in a complex
waveform.
EXT: Signals connected to the External Trigger Input
connectors are used for triggering. External signals must
be time-related to the displayed signal for a stable display.
It is usefu I when the internal signal is too small or contains
undesired signals that could cause unstable triggering. It
is useful when operating in CHOP mode.
EXT -:- 10 (A Trigger circuit only): External trigger
signal is attenuated by a factor of 10.
STARTS AFTER DELAY (8 Trigger circuit only): 8
Sweep runs immediately after the delay time selected by
the DELAY-TIME POSITION control. When making
differential time measurements you must use this mode to
obtain valid measurements. On instruments equipped
with a DM44 you must use this mode to obtain valid
measurements when using the TIME or 1 ITIME functions.
33. External Trigger Inputs-Input connectors for ex-
ternal trigger signals.
