TekProbe Interface
The TekProbe interface enables the instrument to sense information about the probe such as the
serial number and other unique identification information. It also allows the instrument to provide
power directly to the probe. With this information the instrument can automatically set up its
requirements to match the characteristics of the probe, such as termination and attenuation.
Time Stamps
Time stamps are a convenient way of measuring the time between triggers when using FastFrame.
To display timestamps click the Readouts button.
Time Stamp Readout Format
Time stamp readouts are displayed in the following format:
Day, Month, Year,
Hours:Minutes:Seconds.Milliseconds:Microseconds:Nanoseconds:Picoseconds.
Timeout Trigger Criteria
Click Stays High to trigger the instrument when the pulse is high for the specified time. Click
Stays Low to trigger the instrument when the pulse is low for the specified time. Click Either to
trigger the instrument if the signal has not crossed the threshold value for the specified time.
Timeout Value
The timeout value determines when the instrument will trigger. To set the timeout value, click the
Timer control and then use the multipurpose knob to set the time.
Transition Time Trigger Criteria
Click Time and set the target transition time with the multipurpose knob. Click the < button to
trigger the instrument when the transition time is less than the specified time. Click the > button to
trigger the instrument when the transition time is greater than the specified time.
Trigger Coupling
The trigger coupling determines what part of the signal is passed to the trigger circuitry. All
trigger types except edge triggering use DC coupling only. Edge triggering can use all
available coupling choices.
 DC coupling passes all input signals to the trigger circuitry.
 AC coupling passes the input signals above 60 Hz to the trigger circuitry.
 Low frequency rejection attenuates signals below 80 kHz before passing the signal to the
trigger circuitry.
 High frequency rejection attenuates signals above 50 kHz before passing the signal to the
trigger circuitry.
