Triggering

Overview

The oscilloscope uses many waveform capture techniques that trigger on
features and conditions that you define. These triggers fall into two major
categories:

Edge activated by basic waveform features or conditions such as a positive
or negative slope, and hold-off

SMART Trigger® sophisticated triggers that enable you to use basic or
complex conditions for triggering.

Use Edge Triggers for simple signals, and the SMART Triggers for signals
with rare features, like glitches.

This Getting Started Manual contains information on setting up the Edge
Trigger. Reference the online Help for information on setting up and using
SMART Triggers.

Trigger Terms

Trigger Delay - the amount of time that the oscilloscope trigger is
adjusted from a zero value. You can adjust the oscilloscope’s
trigger position from 0-100% pre-trigger (left to right on the grid),
or from 0-10,000 divisions (in time units) of post-trigger.

Coupling – the type of signal coupling at the input of the trigger
source: AC, DC, LFREJ, HFREJ
