Timeout Trigger configuration menu
Use the T
imeout Trigger to trigger on a waveform when an expected signal does not transition within a specified period of time, such as
when a signal gets stuck either high or low.
To open the Timeout trigger menu:
1. Double-tap the Trigger badge on the Settings bar.
2. Set the Trigger Type to Timeout.
Settings panel (Timeout Trigger configuration menu) fields and controls
Field or control Description
Source Lists the source channel.
Trigger When
• Stays High: The signal stays above the specified threshold level longer than the specified time.
• Stays Low: The signal stays below the specified threshold level longer than the specified time.
• Either: The signal stays above or below the specified threshold level longer than the specified
time.
Threshold Sets the amplitude level that the signal must pass through to be considered a valid transition.
Set to 50% Sets the threshold at 50% of the measured signal transition range. 50% is calculated as (Top +
Bottom)/2.
Time Limit Sets the time period condition to be met.
