Setup trigger


This dialog allows to set up all trigger mode related settings.

To make the trigger mode selection easier it shows diagrams of the trigger mode including the potentially resulting trigger events marked with "Trig" in the image. This image is of course no real life signal but a standard demo signal that is just intended to explain the trigger mode.

On the left one finds a selection window for different trigger mode groups (like "Standard" selected in the example screenshot).
Lvl 0 This field allows to type in the value for trigger level 0. Trigger level 0 can also be set by moving the vertical sliding bar on the left of the trigger mode image. The resulting trigger level is shown in the image.
Lvl 1 This field allows to type in the value for trigger level 1. Trigger level 1 can also be set by moving the vertical sliding bar on the right of the trigger mode image. The resulting trigger level is shown in the image.
Lock Levels If activated the difference between the two levels is locked to the current difference value and both trigger levels are moved simultaneously.
Update Directly If this box is checked the card will be updated immediately with each change you make to trigger levels or pulse width.
PW Pulse width input. This field is used to define the pulse width value if using a trigger mode that allows a pulse width programming.
Samples/Time Button The button switches the pulse width input field between samples and time input. If using sample input the modifiers kS (kilo samples), MS (mega samples) are valid. If using time input the modifiers ms (milli seconds), us (micro seconds) and ns (nano seconds) are valid.
Termination This combobox selects the termination of the external trigger input, if available.
Coupling This combobox selects the coupling (AC or DC) of the external trigger input, if available.
