Characteristic D escription
Logic (pattern) trigger, DC coupled,
typical:
1.0 division from DC to maximum bandwidth
Trigger using a logic qualifier,
DC coupled, typical:
1.0 division from DC to maximum bandwidth
Delay-by-events sequence trigger,
DC coupled, typical:
1.0 division from DC to maximum bandwidth
Runt trigger, typical:
1.0 division from DC to maximum bandwidth
Pulse-width and glitch trigger, typical:
1.0 division, from DC to Max Bandwidth.
The limits for both delayed and main trigger are as follows:
Source Typical Sensitivity
Any analog
input channel
0.6 to 2.5 divisions of video sync tip
Video trigger,
typical
Aux In
(External)
Video not supported through Aux In (External) input
Maximum input voltage:
At front panel connector, 300 V
RMS
, Installation Category II;
Derate at 20 dB/decade above 3 MHz to 30 V
RMS
at 30 MHz,
10 dB/decade above 30 M Hz
Based upon sinusoidal or DC input signal. Excursion above
300 V should be less than 100 ms duration and the duty factor
is limited to < 44%. RMS signal level must be limited to 300 V.
If these values are exceeded, damage to the instrument may
result.
