Triggering
6
Explanation
An edge trigger is generated when the trigger source signal crosses a specified level.
Setting the Trigger Source
Select the trigger source from CH1 to CH16, DSP1 to DSP6 (optional).
Note
If you set the trigger source to a value other than CH1 to CH16, DSP1 to DSP6 (optional),
see the sections below.
• Time: Section 6.8, “Setting the Timer Trigger (SIMPLE)”
• LogicA, Logic B: Section 6.9, “Setting the Logic Trigger (SIMPLE)”
• Ext (TRIG IN terminal of the side panel):Section 6.6, “Setting the External Trigger.”
• Line (commercial power supply signal): Section 6.7, “Generating Triggers on the Power
Signal (SIMPLE)”
Setting the Trigger Level
• When Measuring Voltage
Selectable range: ±(V/div)×10
Resolution: Varies depending on the input module.
• When Measuring Temperature
Selectable range: Measurement range of each thermocouple
Resolution: 0.1°C, 0.1 K, or 0.1°F (set within the measurement range (varies
depending on the thermocouple type)
For a description of the measurement range of thermocouples, see
section 5.16.
• When observing strain
Selectable range: ±(Measurement range)
Resolution: 1 µSTR or 0.0005 mV/V
Trigger Level and Resolution
The resolution varies depending on the input module as follows:
