Trigger type selections
Edge Trigger on a rising, falling, alternating or either edge of any source
Edge then edge (B trigger) Arm on a selected edge, wait a specified time, then trigger on a specified count of another
selected edge
Pulse width Trigger on a pulse on a selected channel, whose time duration is less than a value, greater
than a value, or inside a time range
– Minimum duration setting: 2 ns (500 MHz, 1 GHz), 4 ns (350 MHz), 6 ns (200 MHz), 10 ns
(100 MHz)
– Maximum duration setting: 10 s
– Range minimum: 10 ns
Runt Trigger on a position runt pulse that fails to exceed a high level threshold. Trigger on a
negative runt pulse that fails to exceed a low level threshold. Trigger on either polarity runt
pulse based on two threshold settings. Runt triggering can also be time-qualified (< or >) with
a minimum time setting of 2~10 ns and maximum timesetting of 10 s.
– Minimum time setting: 2 ns (500 MHz, 1 GHz), 4 ns (350 MHz), 6 ns (200 MHz).
10 ns (100 MHz)
Setup and hold Trigger and clock/data setup and/or hold time violation. Setup time can be set from –7 s to
10 s. Hold time can be set from 0 s to 10 ns.
Rise/fall time
Trigger on rise-time or fall-time edge speed violations (< or >) based on user-selectable threshold.
Select from (< or >) and time settings range between
– Minimum: 1 ns (500 MHz, 1 GHz), 2 ns (350 MHz), 3 ns (200 MHz), 5 ns (100 MHz)
– Maximum: 10 s
Nth edge burst
Trigger on the Nth (1 to 65535) edge of a pulse burst. Specify idle time (10 ns to 10 s) for framing.
Pattern Trigger when a specified pattern of high, low, and don’t care levels on any combination of
analog, digital , or trigger channels is [entered | exited]. Pattern must have stabilized for a
minimum of 2 ns to qualify as a valid trigger condition.
– Minimum duration setting: 2 ns (500 MHz, 1 GHz), 4 ns (350 MHz), 6 ns (200 MHz), 10 ns
(100 MHz)
– Maximum duration setting: 10 s
– Range minimum: 10 ns
Or Trigger on any selected edge across multiple analog or digital channels
Video Trigger on all lines or individual lines, odd/even or all fields from composite video, or
broadcast standards (NTSC, PAL, SECAM, PAM-M)

I2C (optional) Trigger at a start/stop condition or user defined frame with address and/or data values. Also
trigger on missing acknowledge, address with no accq, restart, EEPROM read, and 10-bit write.
SPI (optional) Trigger on SPI (Serial Peripherial Interface) data pattern during a specific framing period.

specified number of bits per frame. Supports MOSI and MISO data.
RS-232/422/485/UART (optional) Trigger on Rx or Tx start bit, stop bit or data content or parity error.
I²S (optional) Trigger on 2’s complement data of audio left channel or right channel (=, ≠, <, >, > <, < >,
increasing value, or decreasing value)
CAN (optional) Trigger on CAN (controller area network) version 2.0A and 2.0B signals. Trigger on the start of
frame (SOF) bit (standard). Remote frame ID (RTR), data frame ID (~RTR), remote or data frame
ID, data frame ID and data, error frame, all errors, acknowledge error and overload frame.
LIN (optional) Trigger on LIN (Local Interconnect Network) sync break, sync frame ID, or frame ID and data.
FlexRay (optional)
Trigger on frame ID, frame type (sync, start-up, null, normal), cycle-repetitive, cycle-base, and errors.
MIL-STD 1553 (optional) Trigger on MIL-STD 1553 signals based on word type (Data or Command/Status), Remote
Terminal Address, data, and errors (parity, sync, Manchester encoding).
ARINC 429 (optional) Trigger and decode on ARINC429 data. Trigger on word start/stop, label, label + bits, label
range, error conditions (parity, word, gap, word or gap, all), all bits (eye), all 0 bits, all 1 bits.
