Trigger Commands
Trigger commands control all aspects of oscilloscope triggering.
The three t ypes of triggers are edge, pulse width, and video. Edge
triggering is the default type. Edge triggering lets you acquire a
waveform when the signa l pa sses through a voltage level of your
choosing. Pulse width triggering lets you trigger on normal or
aberrant pulses. Video triggering adds the capability of triggering on
video fields and lines. Table 2--24 lists and describes Trigger
commands.
