Debug Digital Timing Problems
Digital designers need to quickly find and analyze a wide range of
circuit timing problems. For example, race conditions and transients
can cause circuits to perform inaccurately. The TDS2000C Series’
pulse width trigger can help troubleshoot such situations by
triggering when a signal pulse width is less than, greater than,
equal to or not equal to a specified pulse width.
To use the pulse width trigger:
1. Press the TRIG MENU front panel button.
2. In the side menu, press Type until Pulse is selected.
3. Press the When side menu button until < is selected.
4. Use the multipurpose knob to set the desired minimum
pulse width.
5. Select, as desired, Source, Polarity, Mode, and Coupling.
