The Trigger Menu
The Trigger menu lets you set instrument external signal trigger parameters. The
Trigger menu commands are Source, Slope, Level, Impedance, and Interval.
This button lets you set the instrument trigger source. You can select either
External or Internal.
To set the trigger signal source, push SETUP (front)!Trigger (bottom)!
Source (side) to toggle between External and Internal.
If you select External, the instrument uses the signal connected to the rear-panel
TRIG IN connector. The external trigger signal must meet the following
requirements:
Table 3-5: External trigger signal requirements
Requirement Values
Input voltage range ±10Vinto1kW impedance
±5 V into 50 W impedance
Minimum pulse width 10 ns
If you select Internal, the trigger signal generated in the instrument will be used.
For the internal trigger, you can set only the trigger interval. In the Gated mode,
the internal trigger does not work.
This button lets you set the external trigger signal slope (or polarity in the Gated
run mode) on which to trigger the instrument. You can specify to trigger on the
rising (Positive) or falling (Negative) edge.
To set the trigger slope, push SETUP (front)!Trigger (bottom)!Slope (side)
to toggle between Positive and Negative.
NOTE. In the Gated run mode, triggering occurs for the time period that the
external trigger signal level is greater than or equal to the specified trigger level
setting.
