Trigger Command Group
Use the commands in the Trigger Command Group to control all aspects of
triggering for the instrument.
There are two triggers: A and B. Where appropriate, the command set has parallel
constructions for each trigger.
You c an set the A or B triggers to edge mode. Edge triggering lets you display
a waveform at or near the point where the signal passes through a voltage level
of your choosing.
You can also set A or B triggers to pulse or logic modes. With pulse triggering,
the instrument triggers whenever it detects a pulse of a certain width or height.
Logic triggering lets you logically combine the signals on one or m ore channels.
The instrument then triggers when it detects a certain combination of signal levels.
Video triggering enables you to trigger on the most common Standard Definition,
High Definition, and custom video standards. You can trigger on all fields, all
lines, or individual video lines. Video trigger commands are only available on
DPO7000 instruments.
If you have Option MTM (Mask Testing) installed, you also have access to a
communication mode. When this mode is selected, several communication trigger
commands are available that work in conjunction with the mask c o
mmands. Refer
to Mask Command Group.
