Showing Results for Tektronix TDS3TRG

When the TDS3TRG Advanced Trigger Module is installed in a TDS3000x Series scope, an advanced trigger menu is added to the scope with the appropriate logic and pulse triggering capability. Logic triggering is extremely useful in the troubleshooting of digital circuits. The oscilloscope is triggered when two signals meet a Boolean trigger condition. This module provides pattern and state logic trigger modes.

• Pattern Trigger - Pattern triggering triggers the oscilloscope when two signals become logically true or false. Basically, the pattern-triggering feature triggers the oscilloscope from the output of a two-input AND, OR, NAND or NOR logic gate. You can specify time constraints and signal threshold levels as part of the triggering condition. The trigger is useful for digital logic troubleshooting
• State Trigger - State triggering triggers the oscilloscope when a state signal is true or false at the time a clock signal transition is true. This trigger is useful for troubleshooting digital logic synchronous state machines
• Pulse Trigger Features - Pulse triggering triggers the oscilloscope when a signal meets a timing or threshold condition. The advanced trigger module provides three pulse trigger modes: pulse width, runt pulse and slew rate
• Pulse Width (or Glitch) - Pulse Width triggering triggers the oscilloscope when a signal pulse width is less than, greater than, equal to or not equal to a specified pulse width. This trigger is useful for digital logic troubleshooting
• Runt Pulse - Runt Pulse triggering triggers the oscilloscope when a signal pulse is less than a specified threshold level. You can also specify runt pulse-width parameters. This trigger is useful for troubleshooting bus-contention problems
• Slew Rate - Slew Rate triggering triggers the oscilloscope when the slew rate (rise or fall time) of a signal is less than, greater than, equal to or not equal to a specified slew rate. This trigger is useful for troubleshooting digital bus transceivers, transmission lines and op-amp circuits
