Triggering on a specified pulse width
Use this procedure to set the oscilloscope to trigger on a specified signal pulse
condition. You can trigger when a pulse is less than, greater than, equal to, or not
equal to a set time period (width). The minimum pulse width setting is 1 ns. See
Available trigger types on page 42.
