To Use
Use these controls to set the Setup and Hold trigger parameters.
Behavior
Use the Setup and Hold trigger to trigger on setup and hold time violations. The setup and hold
times define a violation region relative to a clock. Data is considered to be invalid in the violation
region. The instrument monitors the data and clock sources. When a clock edge occurs, the
instrument checks the data channel for transitions within the violation region. If any violations
occur, the instrument triggers with the trigger point located at the clock edge. The setup and hold
values can be positive or negative. The minimum setup and hold time is 2 ns. Negative setup and
hold times skew the violation region to locate it before or after the clock edge. The instrument can
detect and trigger on violations of time ranges that are before or after the clock.
Use one of the channel inputs as the clock signal and a second channel input as the data input. The
clocking and data levels are used to determine if a clock or data transition has occurred.
