Characteristic Description
Video trigger
formats and fi eld
rates
Triggers from negative sync composite video, field 1 or field 2 for interlaced systems, any field, specific
line, or any line for interlaced or non-interlaced systems. Supported systems include NTSC, PAL,
SECAM.
Standard Video formats are: Trigger on 480p/60, 576p/50, 720p/30, 720p/50, 720p/60, 875i/60,
1080i/50, 1080i/60, 1080p/24, 1080p/24sF, 1080p/25, 1080p/30, 1080p/50, 1080p/60, and custom
bi-level and tri-level sync video standards.

Pulse-width
NOTE. For the pulse-width trigger class, pulse-width refers to the width of the
pulse being measured. The rearm time refers to the time between pulses.

NOTE. For the runt trigger class, pulse width refers to the width of the pulse being
measured. The rearm time refers to the time between pulses.
